My grandparents are some of my favorite people in the whole world, I want to come out to them so I'm not hiding things from them. I'm not sure if they're homophobic, once they told me "you know [guy]? He got married! TO ANOTHER GUY! Isn't that weird?" and im not sure if they meant it's weird because they didn't know he was gay or if it was because two boys got married. She didn't really say anything negative about them though. I also want to come out as genderqueer, and theres a big chance they won't believe that, as I am a very feminine looking person. How do I come out..?

I would tell them in a note because that way they can't interpret you with questions. I think it's better to just tell them sooner than later because it's never good to keep secrets from someone you love. I know that it is bad to keep important Information to yourself because I have kept my depression from my parents and friends for almost three years.

That's a good idea. Sorry you kept your depression a secret, that doesn't sound fun.

i have been asking subtle questions and stuff like that i've been asking things like "would you watch this movie? it's about a gay boy" and she didnt answer she just said "being gay must be hard" which seems sympathetic but shes also told me about how two guys she knows got married and how weird it seems so idk

Yeah, I know it's easier said than done, and maybe this isn't good advice, but you could just ask them outright what they think about lgbtq+ people, or maybe just suck it up and tell them? I know it is so much easier said than done, but you could consider it.
