I'm surprised they asked that question. Maybe sexuality is relevant in some healthcare situations, but in general it doesn't seem necessary for them to know. At 13 years old, some people might not even be able to answer yet. (And "none" is certainly an option.)

Not sure if the doctors gave you the option to answer their questions privately, but I think they should, considering some kids mught feel pressured to lie about things their parents would react negatively to. Glad to hear things went well for you, though! Your mom sounds very accepting. Good luck to you and your family.
