Make them sit in front of you, Look in their eyes straight, And Come out of your closet! Nothing else. :)

the best way, although the most nerve racking is face to face, showing that you have no fear and no shame in who you are will have a positive effect on them, make sure they know this is you, this is who you are, and nothing nor no one can change that, be confident

Well, as a pansexual i went into my cupboard and rolled out dragging pans with me and yelling "i'm coming out with the rest of the pans". So if you have parents who are accepting, you could go into a closet and walk out, but if you're parents aren't accepting, then i would advise you sit them down and break it to them slowly.

These situations aren't always easy, for both groups. By discussing your status, you can ease it into the conversation. Just explain to them how you feel and where you stand in the matter. Take time to figure out a time and place, or, whenever you're ready. Don't be afraid, be proud of who you are, and what you stand for.

Firstly I would say would you love me no matter what? Id say to your parents I am still the same person but I would like to tell you I am gay. I would then explain the way I have been feeling.

Be honest with them, sit them down and explain how it all started so they can get an understanding of how you were feeling then also explain what your thoughts are now and how you would like them to help you in this journey.

Make sure they understand that you are completely sure and happy as you are. If they truly love you (as I'm sure they do) they will be more concerned about your happiness then who you're mackin' on. Just be honest and have a smile on your face. Let your parents see that you are proud of who you are and make sure they fully understand everything that you're telling them.

There isn't just one way to tell your parents about your sexual orientation because each set of parents are different in terms of reaction. Dropping subtle hints can help one approach the situation. Confidence is good and the right setting. But it is good to keep in mind that you have to fist accept yourself and remember you ar still the same person.
