Coming out to parents

How many of you here have come out to your parents? (directing this mainly to people around my age but others are welcome to answer) I kinda wanna come out to mine even though I don't have to but idk what to say and how to bring it up in conversation in the first place. What'd you say to your parents when you came out?

OKies so I am a parent.. and also have a fair bit of experience with teens who are gay/trans etc..

What I can say is that it's universally so that most young people worry the heck out of telling their parents.. some needlessly.. many worry their parents won't accept but they do..

It is also the case that some parents dont.. that's horribly sad..

Try to think realistically..are they likely to accept?

@Adaydreambeliever I think they would be accepting, but my dad's made a lot of homophobic "jokes" in the past which kinda puts me off
