As many people have said that you really can’t make your parents, siblings, or friends accept who you are, you are who you are, eventually they will accept it.
Like with anything no matter what still love them, time does heal all wounds, and let them know that you are still their son and that you cannot live a lie or lie to yourself about who you are…What would be worse? To lie to yourself or to tell yourself the truth and admit who you are. I think that living a lie would be a lot worse.
Good luck and if you cannot make any headway, just remember that time can be on your side.

You can't.
They are the only ones who can do that.
Depending on your age - so they can't dismiss it as 'just a phase" - you can sit down with them - if they'll agree - and state your position.
1) You're 'X' years old so are mature enough to decide this for sure
2) You've had/got good friends of the opposite sex
3) If applicable - you've tried sex with the opposite sex
4) Your 'romantic' feelings are for friends/a friend of your own sex
5) Your sexual feelings are for your own sex
1 + 2 (+ 3) +4 + 5 = You're gay
After that - it is all up to them, sorry.
Ideally, they accept it as part of their beloved son and learn to cope with the differences from their other children (if there are any). Eventually they'll be able to welcome your 'life partner' when he comes along as another part of the family, with any sons-in-law and daughters-in-law.
If they can't, initially, or ever, you'll have to live with it. Don't lose your love for the parents who bore and raised you, try to keep contact, even if they "throw you out", and get help from friends or professionals to deal with pain.
Again, sorry, but you can't 'make' people do anything. All you can do is face them up to the realities of the situation and leave them to sort them out for themselves.

You cant. You cant make someone accept your gay no matter how much you want them too, they have to do that on their own.

You can't. Chances are that at least one will be upset about it, but this isn't about them and you need to make sure they see that. You being gay is about YOU and no one else.
My advice: Give them time to accept and digest this fact. My mom said she had known for awhile, but my dad was surprised by my "revelation" of me being gay.

you can't make them. Just go on being you and they will eventually either love you or after awhile you won't care anymore.
It takes awhile for parents to understand some times but they love their children. Hopefully they will come to accept it.

You can not make others accept you. You can only accept yourself, then in time everyone will accept you.

you know what? if they aren't willing to accept you, i think you can't change their opinion. well... maybe if they see you living a happy life with someone you really care for, they wont think it is so bad anymore.. but i could be wrong.
you shouldn't have to make your parents accept you for being who you are.

You can't. If they can't accept you, then I'd say your parents have some very bad problems that they'd put-out their own son/daughter for their orientation.

Sadly, you can't make anyone accept anything. You'll have to simply be matter-of-fact about this truth, and not give in to any delusions they may have. I'm sorry.
