Bring your significant other over. Say, "Mom, Dad, this is *NAME*. We're in a relationship. If a straight person doesn't have to explain they're straight, you shouldn't have to explain you're gay.

You tell them how you think you should tell them. I sat my mom down right before I was to go to bed, and told her. She didn't approve, but told me she loved me no matter what.

Sit them down and talk to them one on one. Tell them you are who you are and you hope they will respect that. Remember this is your life and you deserve happiness just like everyone else.

Find a support, tell them about what I'm going to do. Collect myself. Arrange schedule with them. Find a relax time to talk.

You would be surprised to know how many parents actually already know that their children are gay before they even come out. The best way to tell your parents is to keep it short and simple "I am gay". Let that simple statement sit with them for awhile.

I would suggest that you ask them if you could talk a to them about something serious. Sit them down to talk and then explain to them that you are gay. If they don't accept it, oh well.

Depending on your family situation, this can be really hard for people. If you really want to reach out to them, and reveal who you are, then sit them down and just tell them. Half the time, your parents already know. :)

I simple told "Mom, I like girls and there is nothing you can do to change that, so please, accept me." is easy if you have a sigle mom, she wont jugde you because she made a bad choice in life and she feels bad about it. She's going to support you. No matter what, you are her little baby.

First maybe you should father them on a dinner and wait for then to relax and then you can start the topic and see how they react and then you can tell them
