listen. first and foremost, check if they are homophobic by giving them subtle hints and stuff. like maybe watch a lgbtq movie with them(dont tell them its lgbtq) gauge their reactions if theyre okay with that then come out to them

be ready, it's not something that you need to rush, when you mustered up courage and feel like it, then do it.
when youre at the moment that you think you are and your parents are ready, just be honest to them about your feelings.

Depends on how they react when it come to the LGBTQ+ community. I’d recommend waiting for a bit if they are antiLGBT. Give them subtle hints to see how they react, such as speaking with them about the LGBT community or asking if they know any actors, singers, etc. that are LGBTQ. Don’t make it too obvious of being in the LGBT community, but then again, don’t just bottle everything up inside. It’s better to wait when your parents are reading and then come out.

However, if your parents are anti-LGBT (just like mine), then you COULD do something like coming out at the age of 17 so they have a year to get used to you being LGBTQ+ and then they no longer have any legal guardianship after you turn 18. Another way to come out is perhaps to try and do that once you are able to get a stable job, have financially stability, and a shelter to stay in. Tell them about you being LGBT and then visit them every so often, allow them to get used to a family member being gay, bi, pan, trans, queer, etc.

Remember though, if you are in a family situation where they could possible hut or injure you either mentally or physically if you come out, i highly suggest you don’t come out until you are absolutely free from the household/family. If the situation is dangerous to you in any way, shape, or form, coming out wouldn’t be the greatest idea. In fact, some people don’t even come ever out due to family problems. Stay safe, that’s the most important thing. You can always talk to someone anonymously here or some other social media platform.

Then again, talking about this on a social media platform wouldn’t be the brightest idea. I understand why you’d come here asking for opinions though. I suggest going to a therapist, psychologist, or even a close friend that accepts LGBTQ+ people. Talk with someone face to face as it will definitely make it easier to come out if needed. It can be with anyone you know and trust or is professionally capable with helping you. From relatives to friends to qualified people, it’s alright to speak out about it. Take your time, there’s no rush, and remember that you are loved. By the people here, and although you may not see it, it’s true. I am proof of that. Good luck, and I hope you get good results out of this even though this may have not helped that much !
