This illustration about Love, from which around germinate flowers. About support of people who do not allow to fall into a deep hole, because you are "not like everyone" and "wrong". To hell with this!
I'm sad what my mom said when she sees girls kissing and calls it weird. No. The strange thing is that I don't want to tell her about my sad experience of falling in love, because that experience was with a girl.
Family support is important, but I think other people can do it too. Good friend. Even strangers! Perhaps the upbringing of our parents at their time forbade them even to think about free love, but we can change this for our children in the future. Step by step, generation by generation.
It's all thanks to you. Thanks to all US.
P.S.
WHY IT'S SO PERFECT FOR THE LOCK SCREEN???!!

This is the best! Gosh, I hope you win, so beautiful and whimsical, congratulations for yet another excellent work ^.^
Drawing on this topic, I felt some responsibility, but your warm comment gives me confidence. Thank you very much for your support! :"3
You are very welcome! It is a beautiful piece of art, and shows the whole pride topic in a totally different way. I could totally see this as an album cover. I truly hope you win this contest from all the other entries I saw. Yours is unique. Shine bright ^.^
I love how beautifully POETIC this looks.
This art could become a great tattoo, too, possibly a chest piece.
My favorite content details here are the friendly hands touching the character from both sides. Because I see a lot of "rainbow only" pride art, which focus only on the person(s) that represents LGBT. But it's equally important for other people to be at peace with the diversity of sexual orientation, too. And the diversity of race, as I see the hands here got different colors too. Lovely detail again! This is a true rainbow. Everyone is here. :)
You've done a great job delivering the message of the love and acceptance you've mentioned in the description. Well done.
I'm sorry your mother has difficulty understanding homosexuality. Hopefully, you're able to get a safe distance from her until she learns it. I experienced it to be better to move away from your parents/family first, then out yourself. So they have time alone to learn acceptance, while you can be safe in your own home. People can do the worst things when they're upset, give them the time to cool down. You definitely shouldn't be around when they're upset.
When I outted myself as a trans, both my parents and 3 out of my 4 siblings didn't accept it. Only my little brother had actually realized my opposite-gender traits during the last 20 years or so, that's why he accepted it quickly. Some of the other family members would come to my apartment uninvited to guilt-trip me and call me mentally ill. But I was already called mentally ill for being an introvert, or for being a "girl which fights boys at school", or for not going to church, or for literally anything that made me different from average. Once I was also called the weird kid for staying at home and drawing and reading science books instead of going to parties and drinking myself stupid like "normal kids".
After 6 years, my family still has much trouble accepting me as a trans, but they're making slow progress. Chances are around 50/50 they choose the right pronoun and name on me. I also think it's easier for them now that I look and sound like a man, to refer to me as one.
Something I've noticed is; be both confident and relaxed about who you are! Bullies prefer targets who are afraid and easily hurt. When you're confident, you're not afraid, and when you're relaxed, you're not easily hurt. Bullies will lose interest in you when you don't give them that pleasure they're looking for.
Don't be in-you-face about who you are, but don't hide in shame either. Just see it as a neutral fact about you, because it is. Your skin is okay, your gender is okay, your sexual orientation is okay.

Your story really hurt me... especially when I draw Parallels with my life. Oh, I'm also an introverted child who prefers to drown in a sea of information and art than to communicate with people. And that doesn't make us weird. "Other "is not equivalent to "weird." Everyone forgets that.
Come to think of it, this whole world is full of differences! Appearance, nationality, temperament, gender differences... Our nature is full of diversity, but people persistently limit themselves to some limits. What for?!
You are incredibly strong and your openness really inspires me to do the same for my family someday. Thank you

You're welcome. c:
I don't consider myself strong though, average at most. I'm still struggling with things. There were also things in my life where I developed a PTSD and forgot bits and pieces of memories. But I get haunted with nightmares, or get mild panic attacks if certain actions trigger it. The other day, a friend in front of me touched both of my shoulders in a harmless way, and I froze in fear for some reason.
I found a bit of extra confidence about the introvert thing, though! There was this sentence which really stuck with me: "Extroverts rule the world, introverts create the world."
Introverts are the heroes behind the stage. They are often artists, writers, musicians, scientists, inventors, and so on. Extroverts are the heroes on stage, and not rarely those that deliver the things which introverts made. For example, an introvert creates a videogame, the extrovert presents it in a show in front of thousands of people and are experts at selling it. Both extroverts and introverts need each other so they can get their talents recognized the best.
So there is no good or bad (or "normal" and "weird" for that matter). And I'm actually more comfortable doing things behind the stage because I'm less likely to get involved in drama that way, haha. I want to do art in peace.

I have to say this really matches what the LBGT and Fur community is in essence. It's not one thing, it's many things. Like Star Trek's IDIC "Infinite Diversity, in Infinite Combinations"
Congrats on winning #3
