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?

I never came out as such. My girlfriend has been my best friend since I was 7 and my parents knew her and loved her and accepted her as family. I support LGBTQ+ but it's not an important part of my identity. I love a
person and she just happens to be a girl like me. My parents would have been just the same had I loved a boy.

@SW-User That's nice that your parents accepted her as family. Being LGBTQ+ isn't really an important part of my identity either, don't think I really need to come out unless I end up being with a guy

@natureboy3 I think that will make life simpler 🙂👍
