Use your pets! =) What my cousin did was tie a white cape around his lab that said, "Your son is GAY!!!" in rainbow colors. I thought it was very creative, his parents ended up taking it better than he thought.

Sometimes the best way to come out to your parents is to be as loving and understanding towards their feelings as possible when sitting them down face to face and telling them. Do not be hurt by their initial reaction. Change is hard for everyone. Make sure you hear what they have to say as well as get what you have to say off of your chest. I recommend visiting the topic later if things get heated and do not argue.

Ask them if you can have a serious talk with them, tell them it's been going through your mind a lot. Let them know this is who you are

Telling your parents that your gay is never as easy as it seems. It takes a lot of courage to come forward. Having a friend or sibling support you helps a lot. It can help keep you calm and relaxed. Always remember that they are your parents and they do love you, despite any arguments or disagreements y'all may have. You can either bring it up causally one on one so you won't feel over whelmed by both parents. Or sit them down and tell them. The best thing to remember is don't make the assumption that they will hate you for it. Even if they seem against it.

Base on my friend's experience, He talked to his mom first because she knows everything and will accept him no matter what and after that his mom helped him to tell it to his father then family.

when it comes to coming out of the closet it never easy. I think that is because their is no right or wrong way or even an easy way for that matter. But I think the "best" way in order to tell your parents is to not think they will disown you and when you actually tell them just be honest with them.

You have to get this: probably, they already know. Specially mothers, they know everything. So, what I recommend you to do is trying to be relax about it. Being gay is not a bad thing, and your parents have to get that. What you could do when you tell them, is letting them know that you get that it's not easy for them to understand everything the first day. Be empathic. Tell them they can always seek for help online to understand what you've been going through, and that way you can work together to understand each other.

you can tell them in any way you see fit, but first you kinda need to be ready to do it, cause if you arent then you will never find the "right" way of doing it or right time
