Unfortunately nobody can tell you how to come out to your parents, because it's an intensely personal experience. Only you know your own mind and circumstances. I can however understand how difficult and unsettling it can be to effect this kind of change into your life, by coming out to them.
Major change is a difficult thing for everyone, but in change we find growth and eventually we come to a new and hopefully better place in our lives. When the desire to make that change is stronger than the status quo, fear is replaced by resolve.
When resolve replaces the fear, you will find your own unique way to make that change.
I wish you all the best in finding - your resolve.

If you know they love you and won't kick you to the curb, what are you afraid of, exactly?

I'm not out yet, but two people already know about this. My mom is one of them.
I decided to tell her first, because although I am closer to my father, I know my mother is more comprehensive and also because I told my father about my relationships during my teenagehood so I don't know how he would react.
My mom cried and said she wanted me to be happy. I guess this is be best answer I could ever get.

Hmm. It's just one of those things for which there is no easy way round; you just have to take the plunge and hope for the best. However, go through this ordeal and there's a reward of relief and satisfaction at the other side - wait for a few days until the dust settles and you almost certainly will be so glad you finally took the bull by the horns. All the best!

Then dress the way you normally do, act the way you normally do and be natural.
Tell me, when is the last time a straight person walked up to you, hemmed and hawed and went through the process of 'coming out' straight to you?
They didn't. You surmised they were straight by them being themselves.
I think your parents will get a clue if you start dating a nice guy and bring him home to meet them.
Be who and what you are, instead of trying to act straight, act the way you are and allow the 'secret' to not be such a secret.
