I am a heterosexual, so I don't have a lot of insight on the homosexual aspect of this question. However, I can imagine that whether you are telling your family that you are an Atheist or that you are gay, that it varies depending on the lifestyle, beliefs, and opinions of your family. In the terms of my family, I feel as if it would have been easier to tell them I were gay (if I was). I say this because if I were a gay theist, I would be accepted more willingly by my family. But since I am an Atheist, not believing at all in what they do, then they would undoubtedly disown me (my extended family would, at least).

This is just my opinion.
