How can I explain homosexuality to my parents?

It really just depends on the person and the parents, you have some parents that are homophobic and do not want to hear it and you have to just let them know that it was nothing that they did not you still love them and hope that they still love me.

Simple. Dad, you love Mom for who she is, right? What if she had different parts the next time you were to see her? Wouldn't you still love her? You love her for her soul, not for her parts.

I think this might just be a creativity thing. Think of an interesting, but easy way to explain it to them. You could find a video on youtube or maybe just a basic definition of love. Tell them what love is and what it means and that anyone can love anyone else whether that be a male loving a male, a male loving a female or a female loving a female.

Homosexuality (from Ancient Greek ὁμός, meaning "same", and Latin sexus, meaning "sex") is romantic attraction, sexual attraction or sexual behavior between members of the same sex or gender. Meaning, you are attracted to a member of the same sex, as love is about what's in the heart, not what's between a person's legs.

Trying to explain it to them in abstract terms or raising discussions about it can help you to gauge their attitudes towards homosexuality and you can decide what to do from there.

I come from a very narrow minded cultural set up where even sex is not very comfortably discussed. People give a lot of importance to caste and religion. So when it comes to an inter caste or inter religion marriage there is a big issue. Coming to same sex relationships and marriages, people don't even think of it as normative here. But if your parents are understanding, there is a chance they might accept it. To answer your question, you can only explain homosexuality to your parents with this : TIME. Trust me, there is no nice way to come out of closet, it will be a bummer for them the first time. Only with time, they will allow that thought to settle in.

In explaining homosexuality to your parents, it's best to bring up LGBT topics and gauge your parents reaction. If their reaction is positive then take the time during a moment of your day weather it's at dinner of your entire family is just spending the day at home to come out to them. However, if their reaction is negative at the mention of LGBT topics or you know your parents have a negative opinion on it then it's best to not come out at the moment, remember you don't owe it to anyone especially your parents to come out if you don't feel safe.

When you have gathered the courage to come out to your parents, pull one (or both) of them aside, depending on who you feel most comfortable with, and ask if you can talk to them about something. When the time is right, tell them you're sexuality. Their reaction to you're coming out reflects who they are, so if they react negatively remember that it's not your fault. Good luck!

In the traditional heterosexual idea of love, you are experiencing a sexual and/or romantic attraction to someone of the opposite gender. In the homosexual idea, you are experiencing the same kind of attraction, just to someone of the same sex.

There are lots of ways how someone could explain homosexuality to their parents. If you yourself are educated on that topic you can yourself talk to your parents and try to explain. Also there are lots of lots of videos on youtube and other places that explain homosexuality. There is also writen information too that you could give your parents.
