 I cannot wait till the day no one has to "come out" that it will just be day to day living.
would you "come out" as straight?
no...
so since your parents are LGBTQ supporters, it's really a no brainer...
do you discuss boys you like with them?
if not, then why the need to discuss any of your sexuality with them?
if you discuss boys start discussing girls you like too.
Truth be told dear, at 13-15 you have no rush to "come out" and no need.... adults RARELY discuss their sex lives or choices with folks (well very close friends and partners now and then).
My brother came out to me as gay in 1976! He didn't tell our parents till 1980 or so when he told mom... a few years later she told dad... but it was a different time then anway.

Dear OP,
Since your parents are LGBT friendly, there is nothing to worry about. I don't think there's a rush to come out to them just yet. This is puberty and you have every right to figure things out and to find your way, without your parents knowing everything about your sexuality. This isn't always easy, especially if you've got caring parents, you sometimes will find you want to have your privacy, and sometimes you wish you could share your experiences and doubts.
Maybe you can tell them if you are into a specific boy, or a specific girl, that would be the easiest way. Or to ask things like, "mum, dad, what would you think about me if I brought home a girlfriend one day?"
Anyway, I am happy that you have the chance to grow up in a tolerant place where you don't have to fight so hard for acceptance. If it bothers you too much to feel like you're having a secret, just go ahead and tell them. Maybe it will be a little awkward, but in the end, you might be relieved it's out.
Good luck!

 Greetings,So you and defiant, that is some good spirit but making decisions like this are not worth the hassle at your age.People change during the teen years and you should at least wait until you are past your teen years before you label yourself and wear that label around.
