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

First off, breathe. * If your parents have gay friends and/or are typically understanding people? Just do it. Just tell them. Sit them down and let them know. Typically for most other situations, where their reactions could really go any way? Write a letter. Why? Because your nervousness could hinder your ability to get everything out that needs to be said. Especially once they start reacting. In all situations try and have a friend ready to give you comfort that knows what's going on. You will need a friend to cry to/vent to/be excited with. And if you don't? You at least have 7 cups!

Be honest. True loving parents will accept you regardless of what you tell them, they will just want you to be happy and support you regardless.

If you're under eight teen and their family are homophobic, you could consider not telling them until they're eight teen so you're able to afford a house if your parents decide to kick you out. You should sit down with their parents, and inform them gently.

You could start of by talking to the parent you are most comfortable with at first, the one you think will accept you instantly. Might feel a bit easier to not come out to both parents at once. "I like boys/girls" is short and would keep it simple. Remember that your parents love you, even though they might be shocked they still do.

I would ask them to sit down with you and then you should start telling them about your feelings and as they are your parents they'll understand because you're their child,they love you!

There is nothing wrong with being gay, it might come off as a surprise to your parents but they mean well, so do not be scared about it and tell your parents calmly and be understanding of their feelings, they always want the best for you and will understand.

You have to be sure what exactly you want to tell them. Ask them if you can talk to them. Stay calm and try to talk fluently. They will understand because its you and you cant just change yourself for someone.

There is no single, sure-fire way of telling your parents that you are lesbian or gay. Just as no two families are exactly the same so the method, even the words, will vary from one family to the next. But many reactions are common to all families, and knowing this, it is often possible to work out the best method for your family. Very few parents imagine that their children could possibly be lesbian or gay. Even those who may have had suspicions still feel shocked, sad or angry when confronted with the fact. Try to understand this. You have had, perhaps, several years to gradually come to terms with the fact that you are lesbian or gay. Your parents, when you tell them will have had no time at all. Although teenagers sometimes find it difficult to accept that no one knows them as well as their parents there is no denying that they have watched you develop from birth to the present moment. So they will find it hard to accept that there is a side to you they never knew about.

Only you know your parents well and you may have a picture in your head of how they might react, but it could be the total opposite life is full of surprises. Only you know what is best for you and whatever that is should be done. If your parents don't approve of you of course you'll be hurt, but they are certainly not worth your time because you are you and you deserve to be excepted so just come out with it show them you're proud!
