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?

My ex g/f revealed to me a few weeks after we broke up that she was attracted to women and was gay. I fully supported her decision. Her parents took it a different way. Mom was upset but accepted it years later. From what I know, her dad still has trouble accepting she's a lesbian. To this day, she's one of my closest friends.

@Barefooter25 Shame that her dad still doesn't accept, most people are supportive of lgbt people nowadays.
