Yes, of course you should tell them!
Now, take a few things into consideration. Are you old enough to support yourself? Some parents are not as understanding as others, and they may not support your choice to be straight as you wish. And then again, they might. They may already know. Have you had any partners of the opposite sex recently that they may have known about?
Don't worry about your religious conflicts, it's perfectly okay to be straight! God loves you and so do we :)
Remember, closets are for clothes, NOT people!

Yes you should tell them as soon as possible, they have been under the impression that you are a ****** for years. Dont be scared just do it,they will accept it after a short while. What are you going to do about all your friends who have been shagging you for the last couple of years tho, do you realize the sudden change in your lifestyle will affect them as well, the effect are enormous when these things happen, your parents are affected your friends are affected your work colleauges are affected, yor Dr Your teammates, your brothers and sisters, everybody is affected, the damage from the fallout is gigantic, oh it just pisses me off. But go ahead you have my support.

Funny. No really... this is a funny question and in a way it makes fun of the whole big deal of sexual identity and such.
But to answer your question... tell your parents when you feel the time is right. Don't just spring it on them during dinner... like setting the mood for a perfect date, setting up theis shocking revelation is going to take time and a certain skill to know when that time is right. And know that you are not alone... there are support groups for people going through what you are (I think those groups are called Church... but I could be wrong...)
Good luck.
And again, thanks for the laugh. Good question... if you are able to read between the lines... :D

You might want to get a feel for where they are on this issue since it can be quite controversial and contrary to some deeply held religious beliefs. I know that when my sister came out to our parents that she was straight, it took mom and dad a long to time to process and accept. Now, they proudly join her occasionally at straight activities like dining out and shopping that occur everywhere 24/7. They have accepted her and her husband fully and cannot believe their prior prejudice.
Thanks, quite funny :)

I don't think your parents really need to know who you're sleeping with. Look, a straight kid doesn't come home and say, "Mom, I just banged that girl from the street." and a gay kid doesn't come home and say, "Mom, I just banged that dude from down the street." so I don't see why there needs to be a big announcement. If you;re close enough with your parents to care about their opinion, then they probably already know.

If theyre older, like over 30, dont tell them, they wont be able to take it. Anyway, it might just have been influenced by something you saw on TV, you could become normal again. And str8ness is the path to hell, I dont remember the page but it says that somewhere.

Did your parents want you to be gay? because if that's the problem, then good luck with you.
Honestly, I don't know any parents who would want their children are gay unless the parents are gay themselves. But, who knows?
If your parents wanted you to be straight in the first place and then you became gay and then you became straight again, I think your parents would be very glad.

First of all. How OLD are you?
Second of all. How did you realize just today? Did it build up over time leading today?
Did they grown to support are homosexuality?

Oh that can't be easy for them to hear that there's a possibility that one day they may be grandparents since you're straight. Oh the horror!

I tell all people who ask about coming out the same thing: I don't think you should come out to them untill you are sure you can support yourself financially.
Good luck with that.
