I also have the same problem but one of the other people who answered this is right.. MY PARENTS SOUND JUST LIKE YOURS!
You DON'T NECESSARILY have to tell anyone. It's no one's business but your own. The way I figure it, is that you feel ashamed of being gay. Don't ever be ashamed! Just because it's not widely accepted by society, doesn't mean you have to be embarrassed about who you are.
For myself, I'm just going to let them find out. My parents are more about education and reputation than anyone. The way I see it, if I'm successful in my career than being gay didn't ruin my life now did it?
I think eventually after a few years LGBT will be fully accepted. Besides it's very natural. There have been studies shown that the brain depicts who the person is attracted to.
I can't tell you the resource but I forget. You should look it up.

It relies upon on your undertaking. once you're an grownup and have the flexibility to circulate out of abode then its greater ordinary than once you're 14. once you're 14, then that's recommended to touch the school psychologist for help in this remember. one element which helps you interior the arriving out technique is having help. The greater assist you have, the less complicated that's going to become. Its like having a protection rigidity on your section. you would be able to desire to come out to a precise buddy, or possibly a gay help/social team. The gay help/social team will grant you powerful help. Your mum and dad may be homophobic now, yet that would desire to alter while they be responsive to that their very own flesh and blood is a element of the LGBT team.

What you have to do is tell them in a very straightforward manner, and then explain to them that gay people do not live their lives any differently than straight people, aside from living with someone of the same sex. Then explain that this is what makes you happy, and that if they really love you they will grow to accept it. Also, explain that you understand if they don't come to terms with it right away, but that you expect them to come to terms with it at some point, because it would be a waste for them to cut you off simply because you were born differently than they expected.

Give them a hypothetical situation:
"Mom, my friend Tom says that he's gay, and he doesn't know if/how to tell his parents. What do you think I should tell him?"
Or, "I'm doing a report for school, and the question I have to answer for this essay is, "how do you tell your parents that you're gay, and how will they respond?'".
I am a Christian, and have very strong beliefs. I love my kids and I would try my hardest to make them successful, and would hope that they could come to me with anything!
If they totally freak...it might be something you need to keep to yourself for a while. If they seem reasonable, or if they guess at where you are headed with the conversation, that might create the right atmosphere for your announcement.

I think that whether or not you tell your parents or not, you should join a GLBT group to get some advice or counselling, You can look at the PFLAG website for a local chapter (www.pflag.org) or type in GLBT and your state/province in a search engine to find some other places.
PFLAG also lists some GLBT-friendly religious groups that advocate for GLBT rights and acceptance. If you click on each of their links, it'll lead to websites where you can find a GLBT-friendly place of worship in your area. Here is the link.

There is never a good ar easy way to tell your parents that your gay. Especially if they are against it.
only one of my parents are agains the gay lfestyle and I just didn't tell him.
I came out to my mom with help from a supportive friend of mine.
If I were you, I would get all the people I knew t hel me come out to them. But, that is just what I'd do.
Good luck!

I really dont know what to suggest to help you. But I kinda had the same problem before I came out to my family. I had a younger brother of 14 at the time who was always like "queer this" "poof that" I know what its like. And I know that my step dad did not like either, as he would comment and I would feel so sick inside and very worried about what they would think of me.
I worried about this so much that I decided to get my own place and move out as I was unable deal with it, however before I moved away, I thought about it and decided to tell my family. By this time my brother was 15 and still the same pretty much, but I wanted to tell him first. Which I did!
I sat my brother down and told him about my being gay, and I was so scared and I explained that no matter what I had to tell him, I would always love him and that I would respect him no matter what he thought as long as he was honest with me and his feelings towards me. So I told him.
With that he stood up and came over to me and gave me the biggest cuddle and whispered in my ear. It doesnt and will never bother me that your gay and if anyone ever gives you any trouble you tell me. Afterall you are my brother, and I love you very much.
I broke down in to tears as I feared that I would lose my little brother, but was so thankful I didnt. After I had told him I had no worries about telling the rest of my family.
I have never been as close to my family as I am now since I told them, as before I kept my distance as I did not want them to suspect a thing. They all knew anyway, including my Nan of 67. I was shocked that no one asked, but overjoyed that I have a family that love me for me and not what I am.
I wish you all the very best of luck in telling your family, I am sure that they will just be fine and you will be a very happy person living your life the way you should and they will be 100% behind you.
Be who you are and be proud of it, as your entitled to be happy as are your family.
:-)

Tell them by not telling them but by your actions. Never marry the opposite sex, never bring one home and pretend to be their significant other. Just live your life fairly openly--but don't flaunt your sexuality--that's tasteless no matter who does it. Bring friends over to meet your parents without saying, "Mom, Dad, this is Mark and we're lovers." Just say that Mark is a friend of yours. Unless your parents are incredibly dense, they will eventually know without your having to play True Confessions

You don't have to tell them Right now. In fact you don't ever have to tell them. But if you do tell them just be straightforward and if they freak then it doesn't matter because they'll have to accept who you are. On the other hand if your an only child then i can see how perhaps they will be disappointed. They may want to be grandparents. But i hope I've helped.

Only tell them when you are comfortable. They may already have an idea, but they do not want to say for one of two reasons. 1) If they are religious it might be hard for them to adjust. 2)They may not mention it as not to "out" you before you are ready.
If they are religious people though, they will still love you. They may not readily accept this part of your life, but if they are good Christians they will love you no matter what.
