How can you confide in your parents or family if you think you are homosexual?

Think it out first!: There is no one right way. Be sure of your position before you say anything to your family. If you can't seem to be clear get professional help from resources you trust. Sometimes saying nothing for a while is best. They may come to you first. That has a better chance for success. Above all choose wisely who you talk to about your dilemma. Those who are immature or intolerant are not good choices.

Homosexuality: There is often a stigma about homosexuality that can be alleviated by emphasizing that it is on a biologic basis. A person is born with this sexual orientation and there is no fault involved. Ask your family for love and understanding. If needed ask them to see a family therapist with you.
