Im gay but I don't know how to tell her. (link)

I don't know your exact situation, but generally parents are much more aware of their kids situations than we give them credit for. She probably already has some idea that you are gay, but often parents are reluctant to bring the subject up for fear of not knowing what to say. So, you see, they are in the same boat as you. They are fearful of your reaction, they are not experts on the subject, and so they don't want to bring it up. Having said all that, you may want to start by having conversations with your mother and bring up the gay issue. Not about you, specifically, but just bring up the general subject. Perhaps you could talk about a friend who is struggling with the issue to see how your Mom reacts. If it appears she is handling the subject okay, then you can keep having those talks with your mother, each time moving closer to your own situation.
However, if your mother completely freaks out on the subject, then I caution you to be careful revealing yourself. As I said, I don't know your situation, but if you are still living at home, you must think about yourself, first. If there is any chance you may be thrown out of the house, then let it go. You have many years ahead of you and after you have a place of your own and are more independent, then you can tell your mother you are gay. Just know that there are millions of us other gay men and women out there who support you and want you to live the best life you can. Good luck.

An old, yet still very funny skit is Abbott and Costello's "Who's On First". It is a comedy skit about misunderstandings due to baseball players having funny names. Look it up on the Internet and you can find the entire sketch. You can also see a video of Abbott and Costello performing it on You Tube. It is difficult to do, and requires that you memorize it verbatim. But if you put in the work, you will get big laughs, I promise you.
