Furthermore, I don't even like this idea of "coming out". I don't know, to me it just feels like you just broke your mother's precious vase or something and then you shuffle over to your parents with your head down, like "Mom... Dad... I have to tell you something."
It just feels like you're admitting you've done something wrong, that there is something wrong with you, and you have to go and confess. Just no. I'm not gonna start explaining myself to anyone, I don't need anyone's blessing to be myself.
However, that's just me. If you haven't "come out" to your family yet and are planning to and you feel like your family might have problems with your sexuality, wait until you'll be able to take care of yourself. With "taking care of yourself", I mean having a roof over your head in case you're thrown out of your parents's house for being yourself and being able to feed and clothe yourself. "Coming out" is not worth being disowned and thrown out on the streets with nowhere to go.
If you're not sure how your parents feel about anyone who doesn't happen to be cis and hetero, you could always test the water by bringing up someone (a celebrity perhaps) who is gay or something in a conversation and observing the reactions you get.
You know your family doesn't care? I'd say go for it.

Yeah I haven't really come out to my family either but I know they pretty much know. I don't really like the idea of coming out either like i don't want to make a spectacle of myself just because I am the person I am. I know my mum knows cuz we have talked about stuff before but she initiated the conversation which was weird but cool. Also I have a group of friends that know...so I don't really feel the need to come out...... I used to but I never really had to come out which was actually really nice.
A good support system makes all the difference when your dealling with any issues so i can understand a persons need to come out.......just make sure the people you who decide to give this vulnerability to wont abuse the situation( like they should people that you know will be kind and supportive)
I remember when I learned my brother was bi- I'm not sure how he told my parents about it, but I remember just hearing "oh, and apparently Brian has a boyfriend" and I was like, "neat, is he nice?" because it didn't matter what gender his lover was, as long as my brother liked him and he was good to him.
But on the other side, I have a friend who's girlfriend lives in fear of telling her mother that she's a lesbian because she knows she won't accept her and that's heartbreaking. My friend actually had to lie to the mother and say she was dating a guy so she wouldn't suspect that she and her daughter were together.
I didn't come out until freshman year, since my school had a LGBT club
My mom phone out by reading my phone and seeing me being romantic with another girl. She got mad at me for not being straight and yelled at me for a month, then two months later, since I still liked that girl, she got mad again. She told my whole family, but no one cared except her. She still doesn't look at me the same way

Well I told my stepdad and step-grandma I liked girls as well as guys and transgenders...It was kind of easy for me because I knew they were ok with it. Coming out as trans to my dad was much harder because I didnt know how he'd react, but i spilled the beans as fast as I could to get it over with. I also threw in the fact that I was panromantic but he seemed to shrug that off. This weekend he's coming down to help me come out to my religious mom, and If she doesn't help me with transitioning so im more comfortable with my body and spiritual gender (im not getting all the big surgeries till im older, just a binder and some hormone treatment pills to stop the unwanted monthly non-boy issues) then he's going to do something to get my custody so he can help me without me getting even worse depression
