Re: How to come out to parents without making a big deal out of it?
If you ever talk to them about finding celebrities or characters attractive then you can pick a few of the same sex to talk about.
I've done both of these as a way to get the information out there.
What I did with a couple of my friends was complained about my brother's girlfriend being homophobic and tacked on a "by the way, this is particularly annoying since I'm bi". They can be kind of awkward about finding just the right thing to say, so I figured that would give them an easy way to respond since the "oh that sucks" is easier to figure out than whatever the proper response to "I'm gay/bi" is.
Even just bluntly saying "I'm gay" can be okay. I was in exactly your situation with my mom and that was all I did because I was tired of worrying about how to do it and just wanted to get it over with. She absorbed that and we moved on to other topics.
It was all very anticlimactic for me. I kind of ended up wishing some of these people had made a bigger deal out of it after all the stress I felt over the whole thing. But of course I know it's good that it wasn't a big deal to them (I haven't told any of the people who will care).
