A modelo transexual Carol Marra posou para a primeira edição da revista LGBT "G Size". Na entrevista, ela disse que lésbicas, gays, bissexuais, travestis e transexuais são preconceituosos entre eles mesmos. "Canso de ouvir um chamar o outro de passiva, de uma forma ofensiva, como que ser passiva fosse um demérito. Afinal, em uma relação precisa haver um passivo e um ativo e nenhuma das posições diminuem a pessoa. Acho esse tipo de brincadeira entre eles desnecessária e agressiva", disse a modelo, que também assumiu que seus namorados costumam ser heterossexuais.
