@ChuckShirley:
This is a late late answer(lol) but for future visitor:
If you want to come out to your parents you really need to be fully prepare for the worst. Make sure you can sustain yourself, get a job, a place to life(preferably somewhere a far from your parents), some savings, etc. This way when they(God forbid) disown you, you can take care of yourself.
Coming out can be a bitch when they won't accept you, but it will set you free.
I wish you good luck mate
I second this. Coming out adds to your independence, and makes you more of an adult. Which means you have to be prepared for the answer. It is unfortunate you feel like you need to question how your parents will react, I hope that if you did come out that they accepted and supported you for you to be yourself.
