Write them a letter and at the end of the letter write
I am so lucky to have chosen Parents as understanding as you both are and I thank you for being my Parents
And quote this Poem to them
Khalil Gibran once said :
Your children are not your children.
They are the sons and daughters of
Life's longing for itself.
They come through you but not from you,
And though they are with you,
Yet they belong not to you.
You may give them your love
But not your thoughts.
For they have their own thoughts.
You may house their bodies
But not their souls,
For their souls dwell
In the house of tomorrow,
Which you cannot visit,
Not even in your dreams.
And sign the letter with your Love
It may take a while for them to really understand however they will.
Love & Blessings
Milly

First of all Ms. Adam and Steve is wrong. No one on earth have the authority to determine who's going hell, so don't pay any attention. Comments like hers is the reason why many people don't like and respect Christians. God loves all and only He understand the mind and body. He is the main judge, no man or woman on earth have any decisions of eternal resting place.
If it is necessary for you to inform your parents of your sexual preference, then the only way is just invite them to dinner and explain you emotional desires. Assure them it is only a preference and that is all. It's not a big deal. Good luck.
God Bless.

First, do you really have to? If you live at home and think they're going to fall apart, maybe you shouldn't for now. Otherwise, lay your bomb on them if you must and then give them time for it to sink in. Most of the time, they come around to the fact that you're still their child and that your orientation is only a secondary matter that affects you much, much more than it does them.

Its not easy but kudos to you for mustering the courage to do so.I can 't give you the exact answer since it's only YOU that knows what your parents are like. I can only give you some issues that will guide you. Are they the conservative or the modern type? Do you feel that if you tell them about your sexuality they will feel disappointed or accepting? I think no matter what their reaction would be.. you should be true to yourself

Just choose the right time and place. Also a good place to look for help would be with some GLBT organazations. I actually had to leave my house, but I had some great friends that helped me get on my feet.

Find a good time (make sure they're not eating or drinking) and come out and say it. However your parents will react, I doubt they will react any better if you try to beat around the bush.

Just tell them. Unless you think that you're relationship with them will get totally crushed. I dont know if you parents are religious and what their beliefs are on homosexuality. I dont think there is a problem with it. So if they love you they should accept you.
