Wait for the right moment, when they are in a good mood and aren't too busy. Don't wait too long though! Tell them you want them to respect you and that you aren't any different from the others. Good luck X

By straight up telling them. There's not really a reason to be afraid because they're your parents and they should accept you for who you are and what you like. It's unconditional love. And if they don't mind then it's great but if they do, who cares? Are you going to waste your life pretending to be someone you're not?

We all know, that this could lead to a drastic positive In relationships with your parents or a negative relationship with your parents. It all depends, on our parents. Everyone is different, we're not perfect but we all should strive for our happiness as in individual to be with whom we love and everyone should have their right In that. x This is going to be a huge step, and I believe theirs NO perfect way in telling your parents your gay and expecting a reaction that you have wanted, but if that happens that's amazing. First off, recall how your parents feelings are to homosexuals and try to address it. How you feel, and how much it means to you for their acceptance. Be honest and strong, be patient with them and submit to showing them how proud you are to have them as parents and sharing that moment with them if everything turns out from a positive point of view after you drown who you love as a person. Remember, nothing is easy in life but you have all the rights to be happy with you want, whether your parents accept you or sadly not, their still your parents and deep down in their heart they love you. Don't be afraid to be you and tell them who you really are. x

Don't worry about it. You should at least relax yourself first, then bring them together and tell them gently. One way to say it is: "Mom, Dad. I hope you won't be upset or unhappy with me, but I don't have interest in (your opposite sex)." It may take time, but everything will be okay. Remember that.

My parents are pretty accepting, but I understand that not everyone is so lucky. I was upfront and honest. My policy is to be unapologetic for who I am. I would have a sit down conversation. Be cool, collected, and confident. Never be ashamed of who you are!

I believe that just coming out and stating it strong is the best way. Be like 'I am gay and that is the way it is. It's not a phase or an experiment but just how I am' If your parents do accept it then great and if they don;t than that is how it is. Don't try and change or lie for anyone, its your life and you get to live it the way you want :)

Depends on your parents. I mean... you know them better than anyone. Some questions cannot be answered but only with other questions. Maybe that question isn"t the actual issue

Sit them down and start by saying you're nervous about this you're going to tell them, but that it's very important for you to get this out and you hope they will be considerate and respectful with their reactions and be reminded that you're their child no matter what and that you need and deserve support. Or don't say all of this to them :D but just sit them down and look them in the eyes and take a deep breath, then speak, and look down at your hands or at the floor if it's better than looking directly into their eyes... do what makes you feel most comfortable at that moment and realize the strength you have by opening up about this.
