How do I tell my parents that I am gay without them freaking out?

You should try to have a gentle, honest conversation with your parents about how you are feeling. Make sure to tell them that being gay is neither a choice nor something to be ashamed of and that you want them to support you in whatever decisions you make regarding your own identity. Spend some time getting comfortable with talking about it and what sort of reaction it may bring so when the moment comes, it will hopefully be smoother. Show them some love and acceptance regardless of their reaction - however do acknowledge their feelings as well and ensure their voices are heard if they want/need/appreciate a listening ear or guidance on how best understand.

Give them time and space to process the news in their own way. You don't have to answer any questions, and you could choose a suitable time when you can be alone with them without distractions. Have your reasons ready, why being open about your sexuality is important to you and how they can best support you. Finally, be prepared for an emotional reaction — either tears or anger —and make sure that they know that all kinds of love are valid and should be cherished.
