How can I come out to my parents?

Well. first of all it is very important that you are ok with your sexual identity and sexual orientation. Once you are fine you can move on the the next level: to talk about it with other people. And your parents know you much more than you think they do. Therefore, when you go talk with them..well..they already KNOW !So you just.. say it ! Hard? Yes ! Rewarding? VERY ! ! To be yourself with the ones you love is priceless ! ! Just remember : they have their own timing. Let them work on it. And it will be all right.

You can try to explain things clearly and honestly, expressing how you feel and what it means to be who you are and how you realized what your identity was. You can reassure them that nothing changes in who you are as a person, and you can encourage them to ask you questions about things they don't understand and discuss it together. If you feel too uncomfortable, you can even consider writing a coming out letter.

Firstly if they are your parents I assume they will have an idea that you are gay/lesbian/bi but come out when you are ready and comfortable with yourself and who you are. Never tell them when you are angry or in an argument but instead find a time where you are calm and can tell them at your own pace :)

I suggest that first you should come to terms with who you are and accept yourself. Once you believe in yourself you can start to feel a bit more confident. The best way, I feel, to come out to your parents is with honesty. Do not plant evidence of your life hoping they will find it, this will only confuse them also do not become aggressive, instead be prepared to listen, as they should listen to you.. Perhaps you could have a very frank discussion about your feelings and emotions, you could also bring some literature with you to help your parents understand how your feeling and also, how they could be feeling. There are lots of orgnisations for parents of LBGTQ children where they can find help and support - as to how best help and support you. With mutual respect and trust, you and your parents can accept ech other in love/

Do it when you're most comfortable and feel safest, never come out if you feel like it would endanger yourself. Seek help if you feel in danger if you came out.

This is never an easy thing to do and I can imagine that you feel a level of anxiety regarding this situation. I am wondering if your parents have an inkling of how you are feeling. Sometimes our parents know us better then we realise

this will all come in good time for you, no one can tell you how to come out to your parents, only you can do this and you need to do whats best for you and what makes you happy

Think about what you're going to say, plan your words first and take a deep breath. If you know that your parents are verbally and/or physically abusive, then reach out to others instead: other family members, friends, teachers etc.

Unless your parents surprise you with the hand-wavy, "Oh honey, we've known for years," there's no way to make it easier. It's like taking off a bandaid: how to do it is up to your personal preference. Some people prefer to do it slowly and agonizingly and indirectly, and some people like to rip it off fast. Things will not go the way you expect them to, and words will come out of your mouth that will surprise you. Your parents' worst reaction will probably come right then, and in fact a year later they will indignantly deny ever having said what they will say right at this moment. I'm pretty sure they literally will not remember. I recommend planning out a time and having a queer friend or two available to decompress with afterwards. Anyway, it will probably be awful (unless your parents are genuinely cool with it) but the worst will be over and they will slowly get more accepting from there. Sometimes VERY slowly, but hey, old dogs new tricks. :)

Coming out to parents can be one of the hardest things you do. The trick is to just say it, but only if you're ready. Don't sit there and procrastinate, that makes you seem less confident in your sexuality, so they could say that you don't really know. If you just straight up say "Hey mom, dad, I'm gay." Or bi, or whatever you are, you'll most likely get a better reaction. Good luck!
