Re: how to come out of the closet to your family
Unless the door is locked, you simply turn the nob, and walk out. If you're tangled in something, or the door is locked, yell and bang on the door until someone comes and take you out.
Seriously, tell my sisters, and have them tell my parents. 
Just tell them, you're an adult if they try to kill you, just call the police.

Re: how to come out of the closet to your family
whatever the case is, make sure you spent hours cleaning the house and making them a full course dinner.

Better make it a Turkey dinner, Turkey makes people relax and feel good.
complete with a beaufitul chocolate cake for dessert.
Combination of Turkey and Chocolate should make your news easier to take.
EDIT: I bet as soon as I said "complete with chocolate cake" CERTAIN people were thinking I was gunno post something disgusting. Well HA HA on you!

Re: how to come out of the closet to your family
You'll be surprised sometimes. A couple of times I did something I thought I would get into a boat load of deep doo doo for, and my dad just laughed and said it was okay. and my dad is wayyyy scary. or was. now i just make his scary faces back at him until he laughs and basically washes his hands of me.

Re: how to come out of the closet to your family
It depends on the situation I guess. Normally I just tell them, accept the heat and move on. But it definitely depends on the situation.

Re: how to come out of the closet to your family
hmm i've never really had to break any news to my parents.
except that one time i accidentally purchased an airline ticket to houston.
it's best to do it like you pull off a band-aid. just blurt it out.

Re: how to come out of the closet to your family
I've never broken any 'news' to my parents.. but I have had somewhat of a confrontation with them before. 
There was this one time when my dad called me downstairs and I could tell by his tone that something was up. and our living room is set up in a way that when you enter, you enter into a circle of couches where family members are seated, and you become everyones centre of attention. 
Anyway, they asked me about something I did which they thought was utterly stupid, and I wanted to make a freaking RUN for it. My heart was about to pound out of my chest and my knees turned to like jello or something  , and I couldnt register what the they were saying because all I could see was their angry faces and the door leading to the backyard. I think that was the first and last time I ever really annoyed them. Angry/annoyed Punjabis are not a pretty scene.
Anyway, sally, thats precisely what you will go through. Yupp!

Hopefully where your point will be, right?
Or put it in the middle so they have to read the whole thing. Not everybody can skim things.

Re: how to come out of the closet to your family
i usually make sure i'm in an open space. and that my dad's in a good mood. then i'll mention it like it's nothing, and run. kinda let it sink in while i'm not there.
