i'll use an anecdote that isn't quite the same but its similar:
my family is reasonably religious. i was raised on sunday school and such. but i'm agnostic. noone in my family knows about it, really. i don't pretend to be full of faith around them. i am who i am and its not important to me if they know about that part of me. if they'd ask, i'd tell them. they'd probably accept it and move on. if not, its their problem, not mine. i shouldn't have to put up a marquee keeping them informed of my fundamental belief structure.
what do you accomplish by telling them? if its something important to you, then by all means tell whoever you want. but to people who don't care about your sexual orientation, it would be meaningless or even pretentous. to people who do care, it might be infuriating.
