If they would be fine with you then I would go for any. Pick who you trust the most. Maybe a parent would be a good place to start, it's always better if they hear it from you personally before another of the family.

If you believe they will be fine, then start with your parents or as the person above said, tell a close friend(unless you already did that) then proceed to tell the rest of your family if your comfortable. Their reaction shouldn't be anything other than them umderstanding, if they are fine with it, you know what I mean? I wish you luck with telling your family, make a post telling how it went once you told whoever you chose, if you want.

I started with friend, havn't told any family yet, but I would personally start with my brother, but thats becuase he is gay, but not everyone has this luxery, so I would go with a sibling personally, but parents is probably the better idea

Close friends are always a good place to start, but your parents would be a bit upset if they found out from someone else. My close friends were very accepting seeing as i'm a very straight acting kind of guy (athletic, competitive, mechanic), there was the odd person that was like WTF? and ive never spoken to since but alot have just gone on like nothing happened, which is just perfect. Parents are different, my Dad's never been the same but my Mum was a bit more accepting. You know yourself wher it would be a good place to start best based on what you already know about the person, e.g Homophobic Grandparents etc.
Hope theres something in there you can use.
