It's a very hard thing to do...........to come out to your parents. There are two things you can do here, you can shut up about it all and live your true life in hiding and live a lie.....JUST TO PLEASE OTHERS.....(basically what I did) or you can be true to yourself and others and tell them. If they do not accept it then that is their problem and has nothing to do with you. You have told them and they cannot emotionally blackmail you with their acceptance or not. You have told them -- if they do not want to accept it, then, I'm sorry to say, TOUGH for them. I am talking here from experience. I have been through turmoil over this as a teenager and mistakenly, took my parents advice and "turned my life around" and did what was the correct thing to do according to my parents was to get married and have children and then according to them, I would not be a lesbian anymore!!!. Something now, I deeply regret but not the children bit but living my life with someone I didn't want to -- I deeply regret.....
This is just from my own experience and may not be for you.......you only can decide what is the best thing to do here. Your situation, religious beliefs, familly ties etc etc all play a big part in all of this.
Good luck in what you do.......... I wish you all the best and remember, pick the moment if you decide to tell them....and perhaps start telling one of your parents that you get along with better than the other first.
Either way, whatever you decide to do, all the best with it all........
