I came out last yr. in oct. I only told my mom though because my dad really doesn't like gay ppl. my mom new for a while, well i was seeing a guy and it was obvious we were going out. but i was at his house a lot like 70% of my time was over there. well i new my mom would talk to my dad about it. and we dont really talk about my sexual prefrence. well i would want to do it one on one. idk unless you want to tell every one at once, just get it out.

I would just sit them both down, like at the kitchen table or somewhere in your house, and tell them straight out. No matter how you do it, it won't be easy.

this is really hard...everyone has a different way of telling their fam and friends that theyre gay. for me, my parents found out...and its terrible. find out how they feel about homosexuals...and if your really sure youre ready to tell them even if they dont like it, just take time and think about how youre going to go about it. ill be honest, there will never be a perfect time.

now as for telling them, mother? father? bro/sis? if youre ready to tell your whole fam, you should sit them down...tell them how you are aware of yourself, youre a grown person, who can make their own decisions and knows whats best for yourself, and lay it on them.

yeah its a pretty basic approach, but its a start, maybe youll think of something better.

good luck. :]
