Thoughts:

As a medical practitioner, it is ethical to treat anyone, regardless of race, religion, or background, but as a Christian, God said to help anyone without exceptions (Hebrews 13:16Philippians 2:4Matthew 25:35-40), unless the family refuses or the doctor is incapable to treat the child.

As for the 'parents', they have already broken God's original design that man and woman (Genesis 2:24) are to be in union, and relations with the same sex is out of God's creation. In OT, homosexuals are punished by death (Leviticus 20:13), but in NT, Jesus has come to fulfill this law (Matthew 5:17), he is to be the Judge now. The 'parents' will face Jesus soon. Our work is to "go and disciple all the nations, baptizing them, and teaching them the Word of God." (Matthew 29:18-20)

As for the child, the sins of the 'parents' are not the child's doing. It is not the child's payment (eternal judgment) for the 'parents' sins (Ezekiel 18:20). Jesus also said, "Let the little children come to me and do not hinder them, for to such belongs the kingdom of God." (Mark 10:14)
