I am straight, but I have many gay and lesbian friends. Coming out to their parents was the hardest thing they ever did. But I can offer you some advice that I have learned from them.

Just be honest with them. You are their child, they should love you for you, not the people or gender you love.

Sit them down, and just tell them, Mom, Dad, please don't be upset or say anything for a moment. I just have this pressing on my heart, I need to tell you something. I hope you support me as your child, even though you might not agree with it. I am g ay. I love men..... ect.

Sorry if that isn't what you are looking for. Hope I helped.
