Coming out to the parents?

    As it says on the tin - why do i find it hard to say that i'm gay to the parentals?

    I'm at a stage now where the important people in my life know and i am surrounded by a good circle of people and am happy. However at the other end, i find it impossible to tell people at home. I'm 22 and told my sister when i was 18, said she was cool after a long talk, but i got the feeling she thought i was in a phase. It never seemed to come up between us, so i said it to her in a drink fueled state months later and again said all was good and was that she thought i was unsure. I told her that i was gay and always knew. But since then, it has never popped up in conversation between us, even though we are still as close. I think this has put me off telling the ma.

    Anybody have similar experience, or any tips? Should i just harden the **** up and tell? Cheers.
