Aww, geeze. Best of luck, sweetie. *hug*
Don't forget, you're not the first person to go through this, not by a long shot. That means there are a lot of professional resources out there that might be able to help you, including sound advice on how to come out to your parents and get the best result available. Sometimes there's only so much you can do, but it couldn't hurt to be ready for that rough moment.
I really hope it goes well for you, and... I think I'm gonna give my own mom a call and thank her for being such a gentle and tolerant person.

This one hit me a bit hard and fast. I actually went to another page real quick then doubled back to stop hiding from my feelings. Haven't been stirred up like this in some time. Feels cathartic.
Fun, unrelated story: I ended up trying to come out to a cousin, and she says, "oh, well I already knew that." like I was an idiot. Turns out she knew somebody who knew a former college roommate. Completely threw me off to have that big moment taken away from me.

huh... clever idea to minimize personal contexts in order to maximize the picture' emotional potency. Your work definitely gets messages across while "saying" very little.
Well, I have no desire to dwell on my own parental issues, but lets just say they gave me plenty of grief in ways that are making it hard to call them too. A small hint is, its my grandparents whom I will probably be having these sorts of "talks" with.
Well, of course I've seen your work around Tin: I think its wonderful, plus you seem sweet enough from what little I know of you. I say this so you know why a relative stranger would wish for your personal happiness and well being: I'm half idealist, half realist: I'm aware I seem weird, but that doesn't stop me from taking less than realistic risks in the hope of wonderful things happening. Hope for the best, prepare for the worst I suppose. So on that context, fare well and hasta luego.

something is prodding me to say more, probably because even given my own grief, I've always been far too embarrassed to put artwork that is connected to said grief: My sadness would have to overwrite my sense of embarrassment, which is augmented by crappy self esteem, so... I'd have to be *very, **VERY* depressed to put even a single image of this nature up.
I'm sorry you ever had to receive the inspiration for this image. I'm not religious, but my hopes and "prayers" go out to you... now its just a matter of my wishes hitting the right receiver somewhere... You could say I'm also proud of you for having the strength to draw this and present it in such a tasteful manner, but I wonder if the "inspiration" was ultimately worth the achievement.
*nods quietly, waves, and wanders off*
(P.S) stumbled across this one on a dear friends site named beccabunny... that is all)

Sorry if I'm drumming up drama TC; this really is a wonderful piece, I'm still in tears over it right now. It's funny how people I see every day tell me how I was adventurous to leave home after HS to join the navy, how courageous I was to have served three combat tours, and how resilient I am for making a life for myself after getting kicked out, but I feel so cowardly and tiny for not being able to face my fears of telling my family who I am and ending the lie I have been living for the last 17 years of my life. I expect the worst and hope for the best, but I must thank you for mirroring my fear so easily and make me think again how foolish I am to be afraid in the first place.
