Have your parents ever expressed any kind of viewpoint on LGBTQ+ topics?

no

Try bringing something up (especially since it's pride month) and see how they respond. If they appear to have a positive response, you are likely safe to tell them.

Try finding a way to start a discussion about pride month or another LGBTQ+ related topic, then maybe you'll be able to slip something in at somepoint

#

I remember expressing interest in going to the World Pride parade (since I live in the DC area) to my father (unfortunately I didn't end up going) and we started having a conversation about it. At some point in the conversation, I told him "it's part of my identity too" and he asked me to elaborate, and I told him, "I like boys". My parents are very liberal (as am I) and have been nothing but supportive of any of my decisions I've made in life

#

and I'm also autistic and have severe ADHD and a bit of anxiety as well, and I don't think I would be where I am now without their support, so I knew they would be supportive of my identity (I'm asexual and homoromantic).

#

What I'm saying is that you don't have to say it directly like, "Mom, Dad, I'm Gay", but you can instead try to strike up a conversation about pride or another LGBTQ+ topic, then drop subtle hints, and elaborate on them if anyone suspects anything
