Out of both parents, which do you think is more open? Could you bounce around the idea to that parent and get their advice on how the other may react? What happens if you talk about a gay "friend"? Do they shudder at the idea of a gay person or do they talk about it like there is no issue? There are a few ways to kind of gauge their true feelings. Just because it is tradition, doesn't mean both of your parents feel that way. Who knows? They could be very open and only hold that facade because of tradition?

You will be surprised. They are your parents and they really do love you. I hope you can come to grips with your sexuality. There is absolutely nothing wrong with it or you!!
