Tell them and Let´s see how they practice the compassion and non judgemental attitude they like to preach about.

Murder is condoned in the bible, so make sure you tell them in a public place, lol. It must be very nerve racking but if they are the true Christians they say they are they wouldn´t judge you or disown you.

If they really have a so-called High Moral, they will accept who you are.
If they don't accept you as you are, they are have NOT a high moral at all.
Just tell them you are a Lesbian. Don't be afraid. Don't be ashamed of who and what you are. Just tell it.Like (2)

Oh no...Catholic zealots? That could be problematic. Maybe...maybe you should ask them what they would think of gay marriage rights or something like that, y'know, lead into the topic, and then come out and say it. Best of lucks to you.

Yeah no worries. I sure do hope it works out for you. One of my friends is a gay man named Carter. He might be homosexual but he's one of the funniest people I know, he's a real card.

Probably try and get some support around it. Although i've never been in your situation I have known a few strict catholics and can imagine alittle of your apprehention about revealing something that goes against their "code". Tapping into some gay/lesbian support organisations might help before you take any step. I wish you well.

first,have a good think about it and see if you have friend you can talk with, maybe someone knows your parents.
second, decide if you really have to tell them now. do you live at home? are you financially independent of them?
and remember, even if they have high morals, is nothing sinful to be lesbian.Like (2)

I live with them and yea i am .. and thank you ..

You are going to have to just do it very straightforward.
But don't you forget that being a lesbian is not a MORAL choice. It's who you are. How you live your lesbian life, commited and loyal, or promiscuous, is the moral choice. Not what you are.
I hope it goes well for you.

I hate to break this to you but a lot of priests are both pedophiles and/or gay, so this should not be a big shock to them

You should dress up as a horny lesbian pope and burst in to their bedroom in the middle of the night with 4 hot naked girls on leashes and demand they watch you all get off

Maybe you could write a letter explain in your own words to your mum and leave it for her to read when your not around so she has abit of time to take it all in before you have to discuss it.
Dont mention the fact you have dated other girls or anything in the past just keep it to the facts
Tell her when she thinks the time is right to tell your dad

Your straight right.. So why do you tell ppl your straight? why on federal Documents do they ask for your sexual orientation ? Is that necessary? nope.. but one day you fall in love, want to get married that person .. wouldnt you want them to be part of your family and in order for them to be you let them meet your parents and friends right? so thts my point dude.

It would be a bit scary but you have the right to be happy as well, so what if you are gay. You are still the same person, your not doing anything wrong, you are just simply following your heart and living your life as you are entitled to do. Best of luck

I just know what your going through because my parents are catholic...but not strict,,..I mean my sister has gay friends and brings them here so I think they're used to it.. You should casually bring up something about gay people and see how they respond ?

"I know that you guys love me unconditionally and that No matter what the situation or what we go through as a family, you will always be there for me. So even though I'm nervous to tell you this..- and it took a lot of courage to come and express this to you- I know that you will not think ill toward me. You have raised me well and Thank you for that. I'm my own person and have come to the conclusion that I am a lesbian. I've known for a while now and finally found the strength to come tell you today"
