How can I tell my parents that I'm gay?

Arrange a calm meeting, and explain to them that this is what makes you happy in life. Assure them that this choice has not been easy for you to share with them, as well as how much their support would mean to you.

It is hard to get parents to understand the sexual nature of their children. But know that your parents don't want to see you go through any pain of being "different". Try to get them to understand the pain you would go through by not being your true authentic self. By being something other than who you truly are on the inside would cause you even greater pain. By being your true self it is the only way you can truly love yourself.

In any way that you feel comfortable and safe. Everybody's parents are different and will react to things in different ways. You know your parents well and, while you might be nervous or scared about revealing that you're gay, it's likely that you have expectations of how your parents will react. Some parents may need a bit of time to react to the news, if that's the case, don't get worked up about it. It can come as quite a shock to some. Ultimately, just be honest. You can't control how your parents react.

You should never feel bad about who you are. You are equally as important as everyone else and you shouldnt be ashamed. Sit your parents down and just tell them "Im gay". Explain to them how you felt when you first accepted it and ask them for their support.

You need to sit them down and you ask that they'll love you no matter what - which they more than likely will as they are your parents. You then proceed to tell them how you feel. Start of lightly so that they can understand and then ask if they have any questions. Don't feel afraid and more importantly don't hold back. Society these days consists of a greater gay community than ever and it is absolutely fantastic. You should feel proud to tell them, because you know who you are - a lot of people are still figuring it out. Good luck :)

Its hard to answer this question as everybody has different relationships to their parents. Make sure you choose the right time to tell them, so... not when they are tired or stressed out with something else. Make sure its in a quiet place where you can actually discuss with your parents and don't resort to anger should their reaction not be what you were expecting. Do not walk away, let them express their feelings then you express yours. Your parents are your parents, they will love you no-mattter what even if its hard for them to accept what you are saying straight away.

It's best to be open with them. Sit them down and let them know you have something to tell them. Don't drag it on, just come out with what you want to say and they should understand and support you.

I would ask them first what they think about the idea. I would sit them down at a table and make sure they're listening. Then, you can just tell them exactly how you feel. If they don't like it, you move on. You can't change who you are.

In my experience, it's best to have a practice conversation with a friend or counselor prior to having a difficult conversation with someone else. In general, whatever the topic may be, practicing a difficult or emotionally charged conversation can be a helpful exercise. The practice conversations allows me to stumble, find the most comfortable words to articulate my message, and answer potential questions. So using a sports analogy - when it's game time - I'm more prepared. By having practice, I've worked through some of the emotions and can have the conversation with less emotional charge clouding my judgment. It also allows me to monitor my feelings and create a space for whatever reaction the other person will have, and remind myself to not get too attached to a certain response. Whatever the topic of conversation, preparing myself - both emotionally and organizing my thoughts - has been effective. The truth is - all I control is what I say and how I respond to what is said.

sit down and ask them what they think abut gay marriage and gay people. and if they are okay with it, apporach the subject slowly.
