Even if that's the case, I can speak from experience that when someone tries to force that discussion out of you it's really scary and uncomfortable. OP needs to bring it up on her own terms. I don't think her mother is being intentionally malicious but it strikes me as immature at the very least. I think a better way to show her support would be to say "I just want you to know that you can talk to me about your sexuality and that I love you no matter what."

It really is and it's not really anyone else's business what an individual finds attractive, gay or straight! It's like, if OP wanted to let their mom know who they found attractive they would, having someone try to elicit that opinion out of you is just annoying

In general I just find it uncomfortable discussing this stuff with either of my parents, if it was friends or one of my sisters it would be totally okay

Yeah I wasn't trying to say that what OP's mom is doing is a good thing, merely raising the possibility that this is what she's doing because asking your kid who they find hot is an awfully leading question.

IA with you that outright showing acceptance and inviting them to discuss it in their own time is the proper way to handle it.

ayrt

It's okay I didn't think you were doing that! It was just my two cents.
