 One thing, if you believe on of your parents may have a negative reaction tell the other first so you are not dealing with two shocked people at the same time.

 you know what you can is have a close friend or relative that is gay/lesbian/bi to help you explain it more (i know i would do that if i ever told my parent i was bi) and then your not going it alone.

 ok i know coming out is hard and you don't know what you expect from your parents.But you never know they could come out on top.My dad did and my dad hates gays but he told me it was my chose and he respects me for tell him.The rest of my family flipped shit and was pissed at me for a while but they came along after awhile.Dealing with the fact that your kid might or is gay/bi can scare the shit out of parents if they have n clue.I really hope things work out write me and let me know how it went
lots of love

If you have a good relationship with your parents, they will love you just the same. It may be a bit of a shock for them, so make sure you allow them time to absorb the news.
As for exactly how to tell them, I don't really know what to tell you. There might be some good advice at this link, which I think covers the 'coming out' question.
