How can I explain homosexuality to my parents?

Homosexuality is basically saying that you would like to court someone of the same gender rather than the opposite genitals.

This can be a very touchy subject, especially if your parents aren't particularly accepting of gay people. However, you want to make sure that you're confident in yourself before talking to them about it. If you think they might try to convince you that you're not gay, then wait until you're 100% sure in yourself. In addition, if you know that they aren't going to be accepting, it might just be better to wait until you're old enough to leave the house.

Try to gauge how they feel about the LGBT community if they are open and welcoming, tell them simply about whatever you are experiencing. If not, find a trusted adult who you can talk to and ask for their assistance

What could help is to write a letter to them, in which you describe everything that you find important for them to know. Once you have it on a paper in front of you, you could let them read the letter, read it to them, or use it as a reference in the back of your mind while talking to them. You don't need to explain everything: only what is important to you.

It's not a phase. You can't change who I am. Parents should love their children no matter who they love,

Homosexuality is hard to explain. But I feel like taking the most logical approach is the best way to go. Show them the Kinsey scale and talk about the LGBTQ+ community. Tell them how homosexuality has been around for a long time and how that it is not a choice, an expression or a lifestyle that can be changed. There are plenty of scientific studies that support that. Explain how LGB stereotypes are harmful. It might not be easy, but it is important to do away the ignorance and build awareness.

First tell them that you would like to discuss a serious conversation with them about your sexual orientation. Slowly approach them on your homosexuality, Make sure you show how strong you are with what you believe in, as for in yourself. If they get upset, that is understandable, let them cool off and stand proud with who you are!

Ask them how they'd feel about dating people who're the same sex and say that's how you feel about the opposite gender. Compare it to liking a certain type of person, a certain personality type. Everyone has standards when it comes to dating, and one of your standards is the other person being the same sex as you.

Homosexuality is only slightly different than heterosexuality. Both partners still love each other, show affection, fight and then make up. The only difference is that it's not with the opposite gender but with the same. It's still a relationship. To be gay isn't something you suddenly decide to do for fun, it's something about you. Your parents should love you for who you are, and want you to be happy. And if having a partner that is the same gender means your happy, they should support you.
