By simply being yourself, as open and honest as you can. You can tell them how and why you started questioning, what you feel, what it truly means to be like you, why you're still the same person as always! Let them know you'll be there to answer any question they might have, and that it would mean a lot for you if they made an effort to understand you. Their reaction may vary according to their personality and beliefs, but remember that you are valid and worthy of love and acceptance just like everyone else, and whatever happens, no one has the right to judge you or belittle your identity!
