Are you scared of their reactions? Or not? In this day and age, most parents will have figured out their children's sexual orientation. You could, if mum invites you home for Sunday lunch, say: can I bring my boyfriend? That would do it... or you could invite both your parents out or to your house for a meal (do you cook???) in order to introduce them to your boyfriend.
If you have brothers and sisters, you could just see how they introduced their partner to your parents. We ought not to have to do it any differently. The only thing to remember is, of course, to leave them time to adjust to the idea. So maybe you'd like to tell them beforehand and not 'rub their nose in it'??? It really does depend on how your parents have brought you up to view gay men...
