How do I come out to my parents?

Always approach your parents with respect even if they are abusive, making a scene would only worsen it up.. For starters try to make yourself more comfortable and more prominent to them, after that you ask them to have a friendly talk with you and tell them that this is the problem and it's bothering me.. They will most likely cooperate.. In case things are really distant between you and them... You might as well take is super slow and steady, make your presence known in a good way for them to acknowledge and then make your move.. It might take a while but it oughtta work

Hey, a pansexual trans guy here. First off, I would like to remind you to always come out when you're ready. Never feel like you have to rush into anything, this is your journey. Secondly, I would like you to think of your situation. Are your parents supportive? If not, then I suggest you to reach out to Lgbtqia+ helplines at https://www.reddit.com/r/bisexual/comments/1of09c/lgbt_helplines/?utm_medium=android_app&utm_source=share or even talk to a councillor. If they're are then you can simply Just say it, Start a conversation about LGBTQIA+ and mention it in the topic. Perhaps if you are not sure how to say it out loud, as I know that may be difficult, I suggest write it down in a letter and give it to them or even text if easier. I hopefully this helps. I wish you all the best!

I would find a quiet time where neither of your parents are busy. Say you have something to tell them, just be blunt. They are your parents, they shouldn’t care about your sexuality, but even if they do, I promise you it was worth it to tell them, even if your not happy about it right away. But again, that’s just in case. They shouldn’t care about that. Also, if it’s easier for you, you can tell them separately. Sometimes that can take a bit of stress off of the situation.

Be honest, loving and kind - exactly how you would like to be treated. Remind them that you're still YOU, you're just working on the best you and this will be a process. Be prepared to answer questions and respect their boundaries as you will expect them to respect yours. If they ask questions, remember that it is not personal, they just maybe don't KNOW what to ask, how to ask it or where to find information. There will be a wide range of emotions between all of you, but kindness, love and patience will prevail. I wish you the very very best!

Before you come out to your parents, you should test the waters with something safe like talking about a celebrity who just recently came out. I.E. Talk about Elvira being a lesbian at first. Gauge their reactions. If they're overly negative about it, it's not safe to come out to them. You should also make sure that in the case that coming out DOES go poorly, you have a place to go and plenty of resources to fall back on in case you get disowned, or have certain privileges taken away. Lastly, you should be prepared for them to ask questions, or not fully understand right away, especially if they're not in the know about LGBT issues. Once you've made sure that it's safe to come out, or are sure that you have the resources to fall back on if you are outed, sit them both down while they're calm and in a good mood and tell them honestly. Some people use cake, or artistry, but it's not necessary. A simple statement of "Mom, Dad, I'm (insert sexuality and/or gender identity here)." Another example is to introduce them to your partner, or tell them ahead of time that you're going to be expressing yourself in a different way from now on. I came out to my parents in the worst way after sneaking out with my (now ex) girlfriend, and it really didn't go over well. It led to a big fight, and a lot of drama. Thankfully, they didn't kick me out, but it did put some strain on the relationship that's lasted to this day. I still remember an ex-classmate trying to come out as bi to her mormon parents, only for them to threaten to ground her until she was "straight again." So please keep these experiences in mind.
