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

You tell them when you're ready and when you want to. It's up to you and this is your life and your happiness. If you don't think they need to know, then don't tell them. Not to mention, before you tell anyone about who you are, you need to love and accept who you are. Once you do that, you'll be able to just block out those who don't accept or love you regardless who you are. But don't let anyone make you feel bad or not normal for who you are.

Be reminded that your parents love you. Keep this in mind to calm any anxiety. Sit them down or choose the method most suitable to your family that will see you guys being more or less alone in a comfortable setting. Tell them you are gay. You can stop talking here to let them direct it to wherever they want to if you wish or you may add anything else that you need to disclose. If this does not work for you, an old fashioned letter strategically timed and placed, could also work. This would effectively make your parents come to you if you are afraid to go to them.

That is a tough one i concede but there can always be a way to be found. You can try and talk with your parents when they are in good mood and get talking about life in general and slowly come to the topic and by asking their opinions about such matters just hinting on them just to get how they feel about the topic and leave it at that for time being and get a bit more closer to disclosure the next time. If you make a slow progress and not give a shock

Actually it depends. I am a lesbian. I came out to my parents when I was 18. They are your parents so they'll definitely understand. You can simply be frank and just go and tell them. This is what I did. Don't wait for that 'perfect moment' because it's never going to come. Just relax yourself and tell them. They love you :-) They'll definitely understand.

Be honest with them, be up front, tell them that you are who you are, and you want to be that way...

Maybe you should try by telling them how much they would love if you were being yourself and then start by saying that you might not be like others and that you have a perspective where you see things differently and then you should say how you truly feel

One can broach the topic first, by assessing what their feelings/attitudes toward the LGBT community is, and then formulate a game plan

Gather everyone around. Go in a closet with them in the room. Knock on the door, yell, "I'm coming out now!" Walk out and throw glitter at them. :)

There is no “how to”. There is no particular or special way of saying it, just speak to them openly and honestly and tell them.

Be yourself and let them know you're who you are :) ,Being assertive , not allowing yourself to be afraid but comfortable in your own skin and mind.
