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?

"coming out" really needs to stop. you dont need to announce it or make it a big deal. relax and love who you want. when you get a partner just bring them around like any hetero couple would. dont tongue in front of your parents or be overtly sexual with your parter (same for hetero couples...its your parents...have class), and you'll be fine. think of it like this, some day you will move out. your parents opinion will matter literally zero. YOU have to live with YOU. so do what makes you happy without this looming "coming out"

@HellsBelle You make good points there, the idea of coming out is something that doesn't really need to be a big thing
