How should I tell my fiance's parents that their daughter is gay?
| Uhhhh... I don't know much about her parents, but have you both suggested something that would tell their position about lgtb people?
| If she doesn't want them to know then you shouldn't tell them. There might be a very good reason for it and people should come out of the closet to someone at their own terms when they feel the time is right.
I get that you'd like them to be there for it, but I don't think it's a good idea to tell them without her approval.
| Approach them, and declare "your child is gay and will now be married to me." Why is this so difficult?
| Coming out of the closet is a very personal & serious decision for a lot of people (she may also have very good reasons not to).
Kicking her out of the closet on her behalf removes her autonomy in this *very* important choice--big nope.
| Why would it trouble the parents even in the least to tell them that she's gay? I know for a fact that most parents would like to know that their child is happy
| You talk to your future wife about it

| I'm getting married in December (rings for Christmas, woo~) but my fiance's parents don't even know she's gay much less that she's engaged.
How should I break the news to them? Because she won't, apparently, and I would like them to attend the ceremony at least..!
