how do i tell my parents im gay?

Answer 1

They know it, but on the off chance that you might not know it yourself, or might not want to act on it, they would rather you didn't tell them anything, as it might be something they both don't want to hear and don't want to have to do anything about. Life is all about role playing, sweetie, so learn your lines and strut out on that big stage and knock 'em on dead.

Answer 2

Parents, actually nobody, has a right to tell you what your sexual orientation should be. That is something you had no choice in. Millions of gay people throughout history have made their lives miserable by living a lie and marrying the opposite sex. If you are not legally an adult, or if you are dependent on your parents for monetary support, your parents may use such power over you to get you to do what they want, such as prohibiting you from seeing any gay friends or having a gay partner. So just wait until you are financially independent. Most people do not realize that gay minors are among the most discriminated minorities in this country, a country that is supposed to be one of democracy. If people do not like gays, for whatever reason, that is their business. It is when they take religious law and try to make it civil law. President Bush is a perfect example of that: Every time there is an election,
he supports a constitutional amendment to keep same-sex marriage not legal. He is kissing it up with the radical religious nut cake who believe everyone should be like them. Why shouldn't there be same-sex marriage?
Perhaps you should not tell your parents, if they would be very upset by this revelation. But you should still go ahead and enjoy your life, and be a good person. Don't do anything wrong because if you do, your enemies will say that you are not a good person BECAUSE you are gay.

Answer 3

It's hard to answer your question since I don't know your parents. Do you think they will accept it or not?

You should tell them at home, maybe after a weekend dinner or so, when there is a lot of time for talking afterwards. If your parents are narrowminded, you might want to have a friend/sibling/cousin with you who knows about your being gay and cares about you. If your parents are cool, there is no problem really.

It's brave to be honest about this in this world of today and I wish you all the best!

Answer 4

Just sit them down at tell them. I do not know your parents so i cannot judge them so i don't know how they are going to react. I will tell you my experience with my son. He told me that he is gay a few months ago and I accepted him the way he is. I just want my son to be happy in life. The love for my son is unconditional. What worried me a little is how people are going to treat him because society can be very cruel. Your parents might be a little shocked but give them time you are their son, they will stand by you.I wish you all the best and good luck

Answer 5

How is being Gay being evil? It's hard for me to understand how people can have that belief, but don't spread your hate to this guy.

How do you tell your parents that you are gay? Sorry, but there is no easy way. You have to decide which setting is most comfortable for you and them. And then just say it. You will probably feel better after you have done so by just having it out there and not having to hide who you are.

Answer 6

Personally, I would talk to another gay indivual, and ask how they broke it to their families and what happened. See if you can find some one whose has similiar parents with similiar views.
I would then ask to meet with your parents and tell them that you have been struggling with a secret. And that you feel thats keeping it from them is hindering your life, and state that your gay, and you know that it will take time for them to adjust and you yourself are adjusting also. Ask them if they have any questions. Then leave it at that unless they ask you something at a later time.
Good Luck

Answer 7

I think the best advice that I can give would be to just sit down with them and have a talk. I know this might be hard for you but not telling them will affect the quality of life you have. You don't want to pretend you are something that you are not just for the sake of sparing their feelings. If they don't want to accept this, you can't change this, at least you can start living your life. Good luck to you

Answer 8

It depends on what way you feel most comftorable telling them. I mean, if you want to be humerous about it, you can go out to dinner, or be eating with them and say, "can you pass the homosexual some salt" while reaching out your hand. If your more of a sensitive person, you should sit down with them and tell them what happened, and how you're still the same person, it all depends on your personality.

Answer 9

How old are you and are you sure you want to or need to.

By telling them what are you trying to accomplish.

Understand that once you tell them they will be in titled to their feelings and they might not be good feelings. Everything will change and not necessarily for the better.

Make sure you can live and be satisfied after you start telling everyone because everyone may change and change considerably.

Answer 10

Just tell them. But expect to answer questions and maybe hatred. But if you are accepted then im happy for you. But once you go ahead and do it know you won't have to face it later. and plus you can go ahead and live your life open and not have to hide like a burden has been lifted.
