SAN FRANCISCO -- Coming out of the closet to your parents can be one of life's most painful experiences for a gay person. Or it can be an opportunity to build an even stronger bond with your folks, one based on honesty.

Here, from top experts, are nine tips for telling your parents you're gay:
CHOOSE AN APPROPRIATE TIME AND PLACE -- While you may feel you're sharing wonderful news, a joyful event such as your sister's wedding may not be the best time to spring the truth on your family. Your parents may blame you for "ruining" the occasion, and your sibling may resent you for grabbing attention on her special day.
PLANT CLUES BEFOREHAND -- If you brag about your collection of Barbra Streisand CDs, gab about how funny the Ellen DeGeneres concert was and drink from a pink "Find a Cure for AIDS" coffee mug, your parents will be 75 percent sure you're gay before you calmly confirm the obvious.
TELL SIBLINGS FIRST -- Let a sibling or grandparent in on your little secret first. That way, when you make your announcement over Thanksgiving dinner, they won't freak out. Instead, they'll act as your allies, telling your folks while munching a drumstick, "What's the big deal?"
SHOW A "COMING OUT" MOVIE -- Renting a gay-friendly coming out movie like the Kevin Kline hit In & Out is a good way to break the ice. After viewing it together, you can note casually, "You know, I'm gay, too."
LET THEM DOWN EASY -- You might try initially telling your parents that you're bisexual. That doesn't sound "as bad" to many straight folks.
DON'T BRING ALONG YOUR PARTNER -- There will be plenty of opportunities down the line to introduce your significant other. A "double-whammy" approach will only open up your mate to hostility.
BE PREPARED FOR FIREWORKS -- Don't expect Mom and Dad to jump for joy when they learn their child is a "sissy-boy" or "butch." Anger and denial are normal reactions. Just sit quietly and let them blow off steam.
DO YOUR HOMEWORK -- Come prepared with a list of successful gay people of the past, like Alexander the Great. Also throw in some neighbors who are "light in their loafers." This will pique your parents' curiosity, allowing you to move on to a fun topic like which Hollywood stars are gay.
STAND YOUR GROUND -- Don't knuckle under and admit what you're going through may only be a phase -- no matter how many times they bring up Anne Heche. And never agree to any "therapy" to straighten you out.

Q: You know how you can tell IF your DAD is gay?
A: His dick tastes like shit.

So how did your parents react?

They were cool with it but my wife was pissed.

If instead of having both a mom and a dad, you find yourself having 2 moms OR 2 dads, then I'd say that's a pretty good indication that your parents are gay.

Yah...dammit...topic should be "How to tell your parents you are gay." Won't let me edit it properly.
