not sure how to tell my family

I'm sorry, but the advice to come out whilst driving seems to me to be the utmost in stupidity.

Pretty sure I couldn't disagree more. If you come out while driving, the whole point is that you are in control of the situation. You're controlling the vehicle, you're controlling the conversation. The advantage is that if your parents have a tendency to walk away from awkward conversations, they have a harder time doing that while barreling down the highway at 60 mph and it's your foot on the gas. The idea that things will get so heated that you will drive into a flock of school children in a fit of emotional blindness seems, in my humble opinion, to be of the utmost in stupidity. Coming out can be emotional, yes, but if you are so emotional that getting into an argument with your parents makes you unable to drive a car, then you probably shouldn't be allowed to drive at all.

Make sure you get your speech ready, and be sure to leave time at the end for some Q and A. Parents typically have some questions upon learning the news. It's your job to stay calm, even if they don't. Also, be aware that moms always cry. They just do. A strategically placed box of tissues in the back seat can make things a little more comfortable for her. Good luck!
