Well I think I am finally ready to come out to my parents. My brothers know and so do all my friends. So pretty much just my parents are the only ones. Any advice?

If your brothers can be there for support, great. Otherwise just go for it when it feels right.
Your parents have their own complicated lives, so be ready for anything! Good luck with it.

I give you my love and support bennet! Don't let anyone bring you down!

I had a very stern and humorless history professor who, when handing out the final exam, decided to try to put everyone at ease by pulling out a big red clown nose and putting it on his face. It helped.
So that's something to think about.
To be a bit more serious, just try not to make it a bigger deal than it is. You got to treat parents like pets. When your dog sees that you are anxious and tense he'll pick up on it and follow suit. You have to be the dominant one, so to speak. Parents, like animals, just want to be led.
All you're doing is telling the truth, no more no less. You're doing the best possible thing you can for your parents: being honest with them. Whatever their reaction is in the moment, it will all work out fine in the end. Keep the long term perspective. Good luck.
