I'm organizing Christmas at my place for the first time this year, with my close family and my husband's family. They are all not very aware of lgbt+ topics and there will be kids under 5 at the table. I have a bunch of little flags in my house (bi, non-binary and genderfluid) and they might ask questions about them. Originally I planned to come out to my parents this week while I saw them in person, but I couldn't because I had bigger news to share.
If you have some tips on how to approach the situation next month (if the subject comes) I'll gladly hear it :)

That is a good idea, but depending on how old the parents are, they might accept, might not. Older generations are known to not accept lgbtq+, but you could still try.
