You could write them a letter explaining how you feel and how they could support you. If it's easier you could also send a text, if you don't like speaking in person.

Do it at your own pace. Start by telling them that who you like makes you happy. and that should be all that matters

Talk to them about their opinions, your opinions, be honest with them and tell them how you feel. When/how you figured it out and that you love them. :) Honesty is the best way to go

The best way to come out to your parents would be to sit them down at a time which suits both of you. I. E not at a time where your parents are stressed or in a hurry. It may help if you judge how they feel about lgbt by asking them a harmless question about how they feel about it. Then from their answer you can judge if it would be safe to come out or not. If they are OK with it you can come out to them. If you need to talk we are here!

Wait for the right time. First of all you should test the waters by dropping some hints to see thier reaction.

Only come out when you feel ready and safe. You can either sit them down and tell them, or you can tell them and run out the room like I did

First of all, you don't have to come out to your parents if you don't feel comfortable in doing so. If you do want to come out, do whatever feels comfortable for you. You could sit your parents down and just talk about it, or write a letter or email and tell them that way. Make sure you are prepared to answer any questions that they might have.

Do it when your 100% comfortable with who you are, and do it when you feel safe. You may not know when that will be, but you need to hold on until you know when that point is. If your parents are homophobic/transphobic you might need to be able to support yourself and have somewhere else to stay in case things go very badly. But if you know your parents will be accepting, you can start the conversation with something like "Hey, there's something I need to tell you" And then, just say it.
