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

I don't think there is just one way to come out as gay. It really depends on you, your family, beliefs, culture, etc. Maybe you could "feel them out" a little first with a little discussion on how they feel about gay people, in general....at least then, you'd know where they stand.

At times there can be a lot of pressure to come out to parents and families. It is important to remember, however, that there can be a lot of risk involved in doing so. If you are financially reliant on your parents, coming out can be even more risky. The same is true for those who live with their parents. If this is not a concern, there are many ways to come out! Some individuals choose to write a letter. Personally I sat down with my parents and cried. My mom started saying things like, "I know what it is". Things started out rough to be honest, but our relationship improved over time. Good luck.

Sit down and have a slow talk to them about how you feel and then tell them that your are gay your are there child so they will love you no matta what you are let them you need there support hopefully everyone will come away smiling being gay is not a bad thing

tell them that you have to talk to them about something important... and when they start to listen to you begin with how you're completely sure about what you're about to tell them and that there's nothing they can say that will "change your mind." Tell them that you love them and you wanted to make sure they were aware of the situation because of how much they mean to you and that you know that they will accept you because you're still their son or daughter Then tell them that you're gay.

It's not easy to tell them but you'll have to sooner or later.just speak your mind.they will support you.

The isn't 'a way' to find out if you're gay and there isn't a rush to figure it out either. After all you have your entire life ahead of you but as cliché as it might sound experiment try and go to some LGBT events or interact with other people who are questioning their sexuality. I find that if you think about it it starts to make sense, can you see yourself with a boy, a girl or both. Some people are romantically attracted to males and females but only sexually to female for example. There isn't a set way you have to find your own way. :) I hope I shed some light on that :)

It might not be easy, but the best way to do it is have them sit and you tell them you love them, and you expect the same from them. Tell them you are different and then tell them you are gay. Your parent do love you. I hope the best

If you are sure you want to tell them, which it sounds as though you are then I think you should tell them. Your positive that your mother will understand, so I think you will feel more comfortable telling her first. If you tell her first she can be there to support you when you tell your father. You are their child, finding out whether or not you are gay will change nothing. I have had many friends who have told their parents they were gay, for some there was no problem both parents accepted it. Others ran into problems with their dads, but their dads got over it, all of them still live happily together.

First make them realise that being gay is not Bad. Then tell them you are gay and it is nature's gift to you and there is nothing wrong about it!!

There are multiple hotlines you can call and speak with someone personally about what you need to do to prepare to come out.
