In a happy convo, tell them that you are gay. They will understand it. Maybe not today or tomorrow, but in time.

First important thing: be sure you're safe. If your parents are against it, I suggest you wait with coming out until you're older. As great as coming out is, you do need to consider that not all parents will be supportive. Safety first! If they're generally positive about homosexuality you could just tell them! Or maybe first tell the parent your closest too. If you have trouble telling them in person, you could always text it to them. (that's what I did)

First by telling them how much you love them and how you are grateful for them always helping you through life. Tell them you have something important to talk to them about and just be honest. Honesty is policy.

Sit down and talk to them face to face. or bring it up with them in general conversation. and then give them a bit of time to come to terms with it.

You can ask your parents to if you could talk to them. Then present point straight on. You must be the person to feel comfortable about this. Nobody can make you do anything. If you not ready. Don't tell them. You should only tell when you are completely comfortable and sure.

There's no easy way to 'come out' to your family. You can possibly find a way to lessen the shock if you have a general idea of their beliefs, but the best way in my opinion is to find a quiet time when you're together and to simply tell them.

Be honest first of all. Recognize their views may be far different than yours. Be mindful of that. Don't dismiss but Acknowledge their views and show you understand their views while at the same time letting them know what you views are and where you stand in your sexuality.
