Tell them flat out and straight... THey will understand and no matter what they will love you because you are their daughter... Good luck...

Chances are, dad knows, because I haven't heard of a single parent saying something along those lines without suspecting. There's really no reason not to say it if he didn't.

Depending on who makes you more comfortable (sounds like it could be dad, but you didn't talk a lot about your mom...) you should tell them one at a time unless you're fully prepared to take both of them at once.

At the very least, it doesn't sound like they would disown you. From your account, I highly doubt it. But you're the best judge of your situation. Only you can make that choice to tell them.

However, I quickly realized that there is too much in this life that cannot be covered up in youth if life is to be fully enjoyed. And that's why I made it a personal goal to have a deadline: without it, I probably would have put it off longer, and just let it build up more and more until that wall of denial and defiance had gotten so high I could no longer climb it.

Again, it's really up to you. Ultimately, happiness is what we all want. And only you know what will make you most happy.

Good luck

Sit them down, and just tell them.

"I'm a lesbian".

Just tell them that.

Then tell them that you are still their daughter. A few seconds ago, you were their daughter. A few seconds later, you are still their daughter. And you will continue being their daughter.

Nothing can change that.

And just let them have at it.

You can tell them the truth now, and at worst be damned for it. Or you can tell them later, and be damned for it.

If you ever wish to get married to your partner, granted your government permits you the right to, do you not want your parents to be there? Give them time to adjust, or atleast as much of it as you can.
