BTW I just wanted to say one more thing.
You are as normal as the rest of us are...normal is so relative that there really is no way to judge normalcy anymore.
We all have fukked up lives and do weird things and no matter how mature a person looks or acts they are fumbling through it just like you are.
You are just as normal as any one of us.....it just so happens you have a different sexual preference than many of us do....doesn't make you weird though.

I don't mean love in that sense, I mean loved by my parents love.

Red I went through the same feeling with my parents over my being arrested and sent to the crossbar hotel.
My relationship with my mother was crap for nearly 9 years after that and my relationship with my dad is non-existant.
Its far from easy but you find other ways of coping with the change.

How recently did you come out to them? I've known very few families that were able to accept their children coming out to them within a reasonable amount of time... I usually seen it take somewhere around 6 months to several years... and hell, one of my closest friends is Bi, but she will NEVER tell her family because they are traditional Indian Muslims...
But my key piece of advice: Show them the love and understanding you would expect from them. It will take a while, but as long as they see you are the son that they love, and that nothing has really changed, they will understand eventually...
