    Firstly...you don't actually NEED your folks to know your sexual proclivities. Granted, it is significantly better for your mental health if you don't have to keep it a secret, but please don't feel like you are messing up somehow if you honestly can't safely broach the topic.

    Secondly, if your parents and you are religious, find out whether your church is pro-gay, anti-gay, or just praying fervently that they can avoid getting caught up in the whole mess.

    Thirdly, don't be argumentative under any circumstances. Bad magic. Your parents might be forgiving if they aren't keen on your sexual proclivities, but challenging their opinions on anything, no matter how trivial the subject matter is, is dumb, dumb, dumb. No matter what they say, no matter how much of a load of rubbish and nonsense it it is, for god sake, agree with them. Compared to this, they honestly don't care who you are sleeping with.

    Best of luck to you.
