    Leave books like "how to tell my parents I'm gay" around the house. That'd be kind of fun..

    I've seen this suggestion in another similar thread; hide in a closet till someone walks by and then jump out of it when they pass.

    I've had lots of time to think about this...

    1. Give them a bunch of cats, and sing "these are a few of my favorite things".

    2. Write your coming out letters on paper airplanes and fly them towards your parents.

    3. Get one of those birthday card that sings and record yourself saying "I'm gay"

    4. "Knock knock!" "Who's there?" "It's me [your name]" "It's me [your name] who?" "Is gay"

    5. Play hide-and seek with them and hide in the closet. When they find you, declare your finally out of the closet.

    6. Put together a scanvenger hunt, where the clues are all gay related and lead to you expressing your feelings.

    7. Go to a store with them. Separate from them, then go to the front desk and ask them to page them as '[your name] Esgay' is waiting at the front desk.

    8. Play hangman, your phrase being ''I'm gay".

    9. Write it in their calender. Ex. "July 14, [your name]'s coming out day".

    10. Just tell them in nice letters and mail it to them, stating that they are not to call you until a day later at a specific time.
     
  8. I told her

    I told her Guest

    I am afraid there really isn't an easy way. Other than just be yourself and hope that they will understand and accept you for the person that you are.

    I've always wanted to jump out of a physical closet.
