I think my mom would definitely accept me, but my dad would be ashamed.
What was your experience like?

My mother died giving birth to me, my father was bisexual.
I never grew up thinking anything was wrong with bisexuality (or homosexuality or heterosexuality) and, in fact, he taught me from a youth that whatever sexuality I wound up being is fine. His thing was intelligence, consensuality, and responsibility.
When I told him I was bisexual (I was not nervous in the least), he nodded and we had a pleasant chat, then went about our day. I did get the usual lectures that any youth gets on disease safety, choosing partners wisely, birth control (I said "bi" not "gay"), and the lot.
I was lucky that he did not hesitate to tell me the "facts of life" and was not stuffy and uncomfortable as he explained things.
Every now and then if I was with someone who annoyed him, he would have a "chat" with them.

I was in the process of coming out, and in a discussion with my mother I just came out and said that I was gay. She didn't say much and said not to tell my dad. A couple of days later she called me and said how she had told my dad and he was OK with it. My mom eventually told me that she had suspected I liked guys since I was 4 years old and commented that I liked the guys underwear ads (which I sure don't remember), and my dad eventually said that he would prefer that I was straight, but that he appreciated my honesty by not hiding who I was.

I told my parents about six months ago. They didn't take it as bad as i thought. they think i am going through a phase though, and that i think i am a lesbian because i hang out with other homosexual, so that i am trying to just fit in with them, not the case of course, i've known forever. but anyway i feel a lot better that they know and that im not hiding myself

i suppose parents are diffrent,i guess some handle it better than others and some totally freak out !!!! i told my mum i was a lesbian 8 yrs ago now but i never really spoke to my parents about anything personal so i guess when i told them they knew that it was a big deal to me i was so scared they would reject me but it just so happens they are cool with it and they accept my partner of 7yrs like another daughter i was so suprised they took it that well...good luck !!

I'm straight and sure of it , and consider myself open minded ,
but as of cultures I'm sure that even if I tried to make a joke that I'm a gay I would be killed within a week or 40 days top.
so think about your culture before you do anything .

Oddly anticlimactic.
My parents actually asked why it took me so long to realize it.
I didn't come out until later in life...my late twenties....after many bad relationships and a failed marriage.
But, I have two wonderfully supportive and unconditionally loving parents from it!
