How to come out to my parents?

Well heres what you not do you dont get drunk and come in with lovebites and "loves u gfxgf" writen on your arm singing I kissed a girl going up the stairs shouting GAY PRIDE XD...still havent talked about it but hey they know now xD. ANYWAYS Just do it when you feel ready cause its not about them its about you, you tell them when your ready not when they are. Just act casual about it like its not big deal. For example I. Whenether my parents bring up the topic of boyfriends IM like pfft Il never get a boyfriend my date has to have boobs (yeah im not shy at all). Just act like its normal as if they already know. The less fuss you make about it the more easy itll be. Doing the cliche 1v1 talk is abit much. Its never easy doing that especially when your talking about what gender you prefer to do it in bed with xD I think the simple "I prefer girls" will do it. You could do it some cheesy way to tell them like Ive got a snapback with GAY on it (love it) wear that around wil get some suspicion.

Cheesy ways to tell them

1: Get a snapback with GAY on it LIKE ME

2: Take your family to Gay Pride

3: Put the LGBT flag or some kind of facebook cover which shows your gay

4: Dye your hair rainbow colour (doesnt always mean your gay I once done that mistake with someone)

5: Shave GAY into your head...I dunno why HEY it might make a new fashion :P

6: Get a tattoo with the female symbols over each other

7: Get a wristband with gay on it

8: Start listening to elton john....say its your fav gay singer i dunno

9: Get a fake gf and see how your family react

10: PURPOSLEY put a picture up on your laptop of a lesbian couple see how your family reacts

11: Have a fake love discussion and let your family see and see how they react

12: Ask them "If I was gay what would you do" And if thhey ask if you are just reply "possibly" obiviously means yes :P

13: Make a cake and line the iceing as IM GAY

ive got other ones but theyre abit pathetic but yeah i put shave gay into your head pfft :P

Hope I helped whatever you decide to do im sure theyll accept you no need to worry

Start to Talk to your dad about his Love Life. After he is done talking say 'Dad I think I'm Lesbian'

Just sit your parents down and say something like "I have something to tell you guys, I've known for a while but was unsure with how you would react..." and then just tell them.

Having had a few friends in your position, the hardest part of coming out is the fear of rejective and negative response. Besides passing obvious hints to your parents that you're homosexual, I hope these methods help you:

1. Realise that you're making a brave choice, and you will be much happier in the long run than if you tried to hide it. Nothing is more important than being positive of your sexuality. Before expecting others to do so, Learn to accept yourself - if you are not comfortable with the idea of being publicly gay, bisexual or lesbian, think about it thoroughly. Not everyone is ready to let go of old prejudices, but by coming out and being a visible member of the community, you're making a difference in creating social change and acceptance. Although others may initially feel uncomfortable or awkward with your disclosure, the happiest and most authentic life is only possible if you are open with those around you.

2. Be prepared. Consider your family, friends, coworkers, and community before opening up to any of them. Do any of these people show homophobic feelings (remember that being opposed to homosexuality is not being considered as a homophobic behaviour)? Many religions do not condone homosexuality, and while the beliefs of others should be respected, there is no reason to tolerate religion/religious people that promote intolerance. It may take some time for others to come to terms with it and accept it, just the same as you did. Be reasonably sure that the first people you tell will be positive and supportive, and save coming out to other people until after you've had a little bit of practice in telling someone about it. It may help if you talk to or come out to other people that you know are gay. Your parents might be great about it, but they might not. If this is the case, realise that they are from a different generation and they may believe they have your best interests at heart.

3. Choose the first person you come out to wisely. A close friend or relative that you trust is a brilliant start, one who you feel is likely to support you. Discuss your sexuality with the people closest to you before making it commonly known. It is very important that you do not ambush them! They may feel confused or even angry if you do. Instead, tell them that you have something important to share with them, and that you have been thinking it over for a long time. Explain that you have realised you are different from others, but until recently, didn't really connect the dots as to why. By saying this, they will understand that you didn't keep it from them; you were simply trying to figure it out before saying anything to anyone.

4. Start coming out to more casual friends as you become more confident in your identity. Understand that it is not necessary to tell everyone at one time; everyone reacts differently, so tell each person separately at an appropriate time, when you have privacy and sufficient time to discuss it. As before, if you are in a situation where you believe you could be disowned or even outlawed, wait until you are safe and independent before you decide to come out. If you are comfortable with your casual acquaintances knowing, then the sooner the better. When people know who you are from the start, they are more willing to simply accept you as you are. It becomes harder to tell people after you've known them for a while, because they have formed an idea of who you are in their own heads without knowing properly.

5. Choose the method of coming out wisely. You might want to tell someone during a serious face-to-face conversation, or slip it in casually to show that you have accepted it and are comfortable with the idea. If you want to make it a determined conversation, take a deep breath and say it. Practise it alone first if you wish, but simply say it in a direct, forthright way.

6. Be wise. Depending on your environment, you may come across extremes of inacceptance; it is important that you are prepared for potentially difficult times. Make sure that you are safe and ready before you take the leap. The whole community does not need to know unless you are comfortable in being totally out, and are safe and independent enough to do so. Unfortunately, you may be in a situation where you are dependent on someone or something that might potentially change if you come out; in a situation like this, you may need to change what it is you are dependent on before you come out. This may mean waiting until you have a home of your own, or in an area of safety where you do not run the risk of being outlawed or disowned.

7. Be proud of who you are! Hold your head up high and don't let anyone make you feel ashamed. Don't apologise or allow yourself to feel ashamed of it to anyone when you tell them the truth about yourself.

Just be sincere.
