I'm gay and need to know how to tell my parents?

Answer 1

They probably suspect it already, so just tell them you want to talk to them. Choose a quiet safe place, tell them you love them and you want to share something with them. :o)

Answer 2

There's no easy way of telling them. When I told my mother I was bisexual, she accepted me with open arms, but my best friend told his mother he was gay and although she still loves him, she tries to pretend he's going through a phase, which is difficult on him. All parents are different. Good luck. And whether your parents understand or not, friends who understand can be an EXTREME help.

Answer 3

Well, what I would do is have them sit down with you. Tell them that you would really appreciate it if they didn't laugh or anything like that, and tell them you are gay. Most likely they would already know, and/or they would say no matter what, they still love you. If you want to, you should rehearse over what you are going to say, and what you think they are going to say that way you are ready for anything.

Answer 4

You just have to take a deep breath and say. "Mom, Dad can I tell you something that is a bit embarrassing? if they say Yes then say "I like the opposite sex.....I'm gay"

Maybe that would work.

Hope everything goes good, and good for you! You're going to tell your parents the truth instead of hiding the real you! =D

Answer 5

Just tell them and explain that you hope they love you for WHO you are, not WHAT you are. It doesn't change anything about you and does it really matter. If they find it really hard to understand or are horrid about it, try writing it in a letter to them, with all the things you want to say, about why you are telling them, how much you love them etc etc and just leave that with them. If they love you, all will be well, if they don,t well, that is another story.

Answer 6

I am a brazilian gay and I said to my mother 10 years ago about my sexual condition. Well I was very anxious about my words to tell her and when I did, she said: "I already knew. I just was waiting for your confission". I feel me very fine. I think you must to tell to your parents about you. I think they will understand you.

Answer 7

No matter how you tell them they will take it really bad!...but if you keep quiet and you don't tell them ...and one day they learn will be much worse...my mum got sick once she heard that...just try to move on fast and out once they know as they will not wont to see you for some time...and then maybe one day...:) sorry mate but try to understand them..

Answer 8

just tell them,they would probably be shocked but if they love you enough they should not have a problem.if i have a kid that was gay and told me it wouldnt make much a differance,well just one little differance not having a real grand child from them..hehe but yeah just tell them

Answer 9

THERE IS NO BETTER WAY OF TELLING THEM, THEN JUST TELLING THEM. I GUESS JUST LOOK FOR THE RIGHT MOMENT WHERE THERE'S NO PROBLEMS IN THE FAMILY AND TALK TO THEM. IF YOU FEEL MORE CONFIDENCE IN TALKING WITH ONE OF YOUR PARENTS FIRST THEN DO SO ...AND THEN TALK ALL OF YOU TOGETHER. DO FEEL SCARED. THE HARDEST THING IS JUST TO OPEN YOUR MOUTH AND SAY IT. GOOD LUCK

Answer 10

just sit them down and tell them you have something very important to tell them. i know they might get mad but you need to let them know before someone else tell them. if my child would come to me and say that i think at first i would be mad but i would love my child anyway. no matter who they wanted to love. it will take time but they will get over it.
