Do you mean, "how CAN I tell them"? I've always wondered how I'd react to one of my 3 kids (now ages 25 to 30, 2 boys) telling me something like this. So I for-thought the situation and decided that I'd handle it with love, support and respect. Well, they never did so I'm off the hook. In your case, I guess it's just best to be as upfront and honest as possible and be ready for whatever reaction/response they give you.

You must always be true to yourself, regardless what they do. Good luck

Your parents will love you no matter what. They are your flesh and blood. Although it may feel like a sticky situation, you need to be honest with them and more importantly with yourself. When you are ready to, you will just come right out and tell them how you feel. Weather you chose to play it safe and use flowery words to tell them you are gay or you are blunt, you need to do what feels right. If gay is it, stop hiding! Let it out! You will feel better in the end. Good luck!

When you are ready to tell them, it may be best to tell the more supportive parent first. Do it in a non-confrontational manner and be gentle rather than blunt. Be prepared for a less than warm reception, but most parents love their child unconditionally so it usually turns out okay. Let your parents know about support groups like PFLAG and that you love them very much. Good luck.

Have them both sit down and tell them you have something important to say and you want them to FULLY listen. A true great parent will listen and love despite the issue. You are there son and if they get upset and show anger it is simply because they are scared for you and for them selves of what people may say or think or even do. Let them know that you are ok and are not afraid you want them to be ok and not afraid. Besides you are who you are and no amount of anger or fear can change that.

First, are you comfortable with yourself and have you fully accepted yourself? Because when you are ready to tell your parents you can't tell them as if you are apologizing for it, and you can't be confused.

Many parents don't want to accept that their son or daughter is gay so be sure you are ready for their reaction, which could be anything from shock, disbelief, hurt and anger to support and acceptance. When you do tell them just say the words, "I am gay." Then let them know that you needed to tell them because you no longer want to live a lie.

I would sit them down and explain that you've come to the realization that you're gay. Their first reaction may be to blame themselves, but assure them that this isn't anyone's "fault," it's just what you've come to realize about yourself and you can't hide it anymore. You need to tell your parents whether or not they're going to understand, you need to be true to yourself and they'll come to realize that eventually.

Just be honest and be patient with them. They may need some time to accept it. No matter what, they will love you. Good luck.
