What's the best way to come out of the closet to your parents?

Coming out of the closet to your parents can be challenging. Remember that your sexuality is YOUR live and YOUR choices. Therefore, no one has nothing to do with this. Not ven your parents. However, if you fel the urge to disclose to them, just do it. Bur NO EXPECTATIONS ! You cannot control their reaction and you got to be prepared for not so positive ones. But if they love you, they will eventually understand. It might take time. but, hey...you had your own time to accept yourself , too, right? So, allow them to have their own time , too.

When I came out it was hard but you should take your time, it might be a shock for them at first but don't worry they will come around if they love you, if not then you should still feel good that you shared it.

First you should find out where they stand on LGBTQ. If they are for it then just have a sit down with them and answer all their questions. If they are not for it then make sure to have someone with you and make sure to have a back up plan if things go badly.

When you feel comfortable, be open with them. Explain how you are feeling and any concerns you might have had about telling them.

The first thing I did was ask my parents what their views on queer people was. They turned out very accepting so talking to them was easy. But some of my closest friends weren't so lucky. If you feel your parents aren't as accepting trying a simple letter might work...

The best you can really do is just tell them that you love them and explain your choices to them.

You should speak to them and be straightforward with what you want to say. They are your parents so they should be supportive and respectful towards who you are.

Give yourself time! Lots of it. Be patient with yourself because coming out is a process. Sit them down, have a one on one conversation and make sure you choose your words wisely

Just be you. Ask to talk and sit down with them. Tell them what you identify as, and know no matter their reaction, you are supported and accepted by others.

The best way to come out to parents is to (if you can) be direct with them. Being clear and educating them is the best way for them to be able to understand and accept it. Another way which is less intimidating is to write them a letter, sometimes it’s easier to confidently put across how you feel through writing something rather than trying to speak to them. Remember, only come out of the closet if you feel you are safe and will not be at any risk because of it.
