I don't know how, but the topic of 'homosexuality' came up.
My mom tells me to drop the subject that its disgusting. She said that she doesn't care if someone is gay, but she doesn't want to think about it. Just the thought of two guys or two girls kissing is sickening to her

I asked her "What if I was gay? What then?"
She just said she doesn't care, as long as I'm not 'making out with girls' in front of her.

For years, I've been a gay rights supporter. But I might also be bi, if not a lesbian. I haven't really decided yet since I don't really have any experience.
So her point of view on this kind of thing kind of bugs me...

You can't change how people percieve things. If this is her opinion, do not try and change it, that will only cause big issues in your house hold. Her point of view on this topic will be looking at YOUR point of view in the exact same way you see hers (As in, you think she's a monster for thinking such as thing, she might just think the same to you!).

Your mothers views have no effect on your life except if you let them. Everybody has different opinions and you can't let that get to her. If it matters so much to you then do not bring the subject up around her. She doesn't want to discuss it so don't discuss it, simple as that. If you some day decide you are a lesbian just don't tell her. It can be a "Don't Ask--Don't Tell" type of thing. If you don't care, tell her you are, bring your girlfriend home, and let her see that it's your choice, your opinion, and she will just have to get over it.

Don't let her opinion change who you are, your an individual your own person. Don't change that for anyone, there is nothing wrong with it :hug:
