Family won't accept girlfriend?

Hi guys I'm a lesbian. I haven't came out to my parents yet, although I'm pretty sure they know as my mom likes to bad mouth gay people while she looks right at me. I'm 16 years old and I plan on telling my parents when I start college. She told me if I was gay that she would still love me the same, treat me the same. But…

Hi guys
I'm a lesbian. I haven't came out to my parents yet, although I'm pretty sure they know as my mom likes to bad mouth gay people while she looks right at me. I'm 16 years old and I plan on telling my parents when I start college. She told me if I was gay that she would still love me the same, treat me the same. But she will never accept my partner/girlfriend. It's really strange to me because my mom is the kind who always wants to know everything about my friends because she likes to suss them out. Yet she tells me she would not allow my girlfriend to come into the house or she wouldent be around us when we were together. This really really bothers me to the extent that I lie awake at night. It bothers me because I know that she will still love me yet she doesn't want anything to do with that part of my life. I can also imagine that it would cause problems in a relationship, I don't know. I think it's really close minded and stupid, my dad on the other hand doesn't really care, he's happy as long as I am happy and I value his opinions more than my mams because he's more reasonable compared to my moms favourite line of "because I said so".
So really I'm asking
is it a good idea to come out to my parents?
Should this bother me so much that she would have anything to do with my girlfriend?

Thanks
