First thing you should do is be kind to yourself. Coming out can be one of the scariest things you will ever do, but it also one of the most courageous things you will ever do!
No one can predict what will happen with absolute certainty, and I understand from first hand experience how devastating it can feel to be rejected by a parent. But I also know how liberating and empowering it feels when you find the courage to stand up and be your authentic self.
Even now, knowing that my parents would reject me, I would still make the decision to come out. Not for them, but for myself. No matter what you decide to do, I want you to know that I'm proud of you, and you will always have a family here that loves and accepts you for who you are!!! 💜🫂💜🫂

Hey,
so I don’t know if it will help you but I was basically in the same situation as you. My mom totally supports lgbtqia+ and all what you said about your mom, I’m a lesbian and I was still scared before I came out to her.
First of all I need you to know that, like you said, your mom couldn’t care less which gender you will date and it’s normal to still worry about it.
Secondly after what you said it’s very likely that your mom won’t treat you differently or if then not intentionally. She’ll probably understand you even better and you don’t have to hide yourself anymore.
Also nobody forces you to come out right away and you can let yourself take your time. It’s often scary to come out to your mother or anyone close in general even if you know they’re supportive.
So wait till you’re ready and everything will be fine. Good luck!
