Well just ask if they can sit down one night and talk to you. You tell them how you feel and then tell them that you like the same gender and you are their child. They love you for you, not for who you love.

It's a personal choice on how you can come out. A few suggestions are a letter/email, a video, or in person. You can look around the internet for come out ideas as well. If you look for the Coming Out Song by Ally Hills if it has to do with your sexuality that is a way that someone. Good Luck.

It will be hard, I came out to my mum. I told her "Mum, if you don't respect me I don't know what to tell you, but I like girls too."

I think writing a letter is a good way, allowing yourself to say everything you feel, and knowing you have said everything you wanted.

Maybe do some research on how people have come out. If you have a friend that has been through this you can even have a conversation about what you should do. Anyone that you know supports you can be there for you.

It depends how close you are to them, and what you are comfortable with. I came out to my mom in a letter I left in her purse, because I'm not good at talking. Whatever method you choose, make sure to tell them how strongly you feel about yourself, how much their support would mean to you, and information you might need to explain what you are coming out as.

This is a hard thing to talk about, but if you need my advice i would advice you first of all find the right moment and the right place to talk with them about it. and then you first of all try to know what they do think about your sexuality and what would change in your relationship as a family if you told them your sexuality. Then stay calm during the discussion and don't be too much defensive. if they think you are wrong. Explain yourself, give your opinion and thank them later for not judging you . :) -Phoenix

Coming out isn't always easy. Tell your parents you want to talk to them about something very important to you and just tell them. You might be surprised by how well they'll take it! The truth, however, is that not every parent is okay with a child coming out, unfortunately. If you don't feel you'll be safe afterwards, don't come out until you have a safe place. Think about yourself first amd your own wellbeing. You don't have to come out just because you see all these people coming out if that means things will get worse. I wish you the best of luck with that amd always remember there is someone here for you, to listen to you and help you the best way possible.
