At some point in some of the adult people's lives, they will likely have disagreements with their parents. However, if their family members don't accept their gender identity or sexual orientation, members of the LGBTQ+ community may experience additional problems.

The OP comes from a strictly Christian household that is not very accommodating to change or difference. The OP and lots of her cousins have identified with the LGBTQ+ community.
