Now I think this is my FAVORITE piece EVER to be posted on deviantART. It shows that, whether someone is religious or not, that no matter how their son or daughter identifies that there is still that unconditional love that the parent SHOULD have for their child/children. I mean, fuck, I started crying just reading the positive comments people made on this picture!

My coming out experience, as most of you know, wasn't that great. My mother yelled "YOU FUCKING FAGGOT!" at midnight to me when she thought I was full blown lesbian, when infact I was more leaned toward heterosexual. And when I FINALLY came out as trans? Still, I didn't earn the undying love that I wish have from her.

A slightly similar story for my friends Morgan and his older brother Jason.

Jason turned 20 on the eighth of July. Jason is gay and being raised in a Mormon household, he and Morgan are the black sheep of the family. Jason was going to BYU[from what he told me its a Mormon college. ehhh..] and someone who he thought was his friend called him out to the headmaster or dean or whatever they are called in college. A picture similar to the mother is of him infront of a white sheet of paper, with the following written on it in red.

"Hi. I'm awesome and am at Pride in SLC 09 because I got kicked out of BYU for being openly gay. I am free now and never going back. :]

-J.W."

The picture is right here as proof.

Morgan and Jason go through equally hard times, seeing is how Morgan is bi leaned more toward gay. If their father was as loving as this mother, I would be happy for them. If my mother, who is in no way shape or form religious, was like this mother, I would be ecstatic. But alas, people aren't the same and there are always going to be opinions.

And on that note, I am going to try to go to bed. e.e; I really need to try to sleep more
