I recommend not telling them until you no longer need them financially

How old are you? If you're reasonably close to financial independence, definitely wait. If you're like 13 or 14 though, it might get dicier (because the chances you'll be able to 100% keep a lid on it for 4, 5, or more years are... not great)

If you feel that they are unsupportive, don't tell them at all. If anyone else (such as friends) know that you're gay, make sure they know that you are not out to your parents so they don't accidentally out you. I would recommend waiting until you are no longer dependent on your parents in any way before coming out

I would say wait for now

I second that. Don’t tell them if you feel like they would respond negatively
