So, today I went for a vaccine and my mom took me as I'm a minor and after she was given a questionairre. There was a slot for my gender and instead of checking male she asked if I'd rather tick non binary. I'm cis so this didn't matter much but it gives me hope that I might be able to come out some day.

I've also started teaching my sister critical thinking to prevent her becoming a religious but. Hope she remembers my lesson on questioning authority

That's a step in the right direction. You obviously know your mom better, but this is my (hopeful) interpretation: she may recognize that you are somewhere in the LGBT+ space, but she isn't sure where, or how to bring it up. If she didn't treat the "non-binary" label in the questionnaire with sarcasm or derision, opportunities like this can be ways for her to innocently broach the subject and feel out where you are at.

Not sure what to do I'm not ready to come out yet. Also the last thing I need is my parents thinking in hooking up with the friends I'm hanging out with

Hey friend, I'm not part of the community but I'm a strong supporter. I hope all the best for you and your future. I hope your family will be more accepting than a random internet stranger but either way there is a community here ready to accept you.
