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

hmm, I would love to be able to tell you that, it's such a big thing to tell them I guess? and you are wondering what the best way of going about it is.

Dependent on the way you think they would react, you could go about it in a number of ways. Maybe tell them something bad, then that will act as a buffer if you feel they'll take it badly- this will also allow you to gage their likely reaction. Another way could be to openly discuss with them their views on sexuality, and ask hypothetical questions, such as what if______? which will give you insight into how they may feel about you, or people in general, being gay. When you're ready, talk to them and know that no matter what, they love you and always will.

Obviously you want to be honest so the best way is to simply just say it. It's what happens after that, the consequence of saying, will be as important.

First tell them how a gender happens (Its because of some hormones from your parents ).Then tell them that you are not the responsible for that one.Prove that you are grateful than others by achieving something .There's nothing about gender only thing we need to consider is how we are surviving....

Find a time when they seem open to discussion and begin with your appreciation of them and your gratitude for them raising you and why you care about sharing your truth. Give it your best shot -- try it out on a listener here or a trusted friend. And know that sometimes it takes parents a while to get used to this information. Their immediate response may not be the more loving and accepting one they will have in a day, a week, a year, or when you have the first grandchild... If you think their response might be drastic (asking you to move), then be prepared with somewhere to stay. And good luck! You are speaking the truth. How they receive it indicates who THEY are, not who you are.

just sit them down and tell them you would like to talk. explain to them that you have different feelings then most people and you want them to support you.

If you're wrestling with guilt and periods of depression, you'll be better off waiting to tell your parents. Coming out to them may require tremendous energy on your part it will require a reserve of positive self-image.

Personally i don't swing that way, but if i did i would say this to them. "Mum, Dad, I'm gay". We cant control who we fall in love with or who we want to be intimate with. If they don't agree with your life choice, that's their problem, not yours.

The best way to approach confessing your gay is to sit your parents down, have some family member or someone whose close to you with you that already knows about you being gay and talk to your family about it. Tell them you've been seeing someone or you don't feel attracted to the opposite sex. Depending on how your parents are (you would know best) you need to be straightforward with them, there's no way to sugar coat such a thing. But also remember, that being gay is not something that's wrong , its your sexuality, your designed this way. So if they don't respond to it well, you need to console yourself and try to explain it to them again. Don't ever make the mistake of apologising for your sexuality or agreeing to your parents demands of dating the opposite gender just because they feel embarrassed. Get your trusted person to support you and help reason with your parents when you tell them your gay.

Try sitting down with your parents and being open with them on this matter. Let them know this is your choice and this is what makes you happy.
