This is an interesting topic. Thought provoking. You have every right to feel like you feel. But it is still reassuring to have one's feeling validated.
I'll bet the person in question meant well. She may have been trying to say she was cool with everything and not judging you. It can be ackward if one is exposed to a type of sexuality that is new to them. You have a chance to be an ambassador to the uninitiated. Be kind.
