Well to me o say this all the time
It's like i can accept things but don't force on onto me
Like when someone trying to understand things with their own morals
They can accept that you're happy but like don't keep placing it in my face
And it doesn't sound flamboyant
Sounds like a item

Kinda like pacing
Like if I'm trying to understand something I want to take my time with it
I don't want pressure or someone who thinks they know something and they try telling me but in all honesty they don't know themselves can cause confusion

or in simple terms
i can accept it but don't constantly tell me about it when i'm still trying to grasp the situation myself

What ams said. It's sad that so many people have something against non-heterosexual/non-cis couples. Sorry to hear you are struggling with this. I understand how you feel!
As for your question I personally don't like seeing other people make out in front of me either but I couldn't care less if it's a heterosexual couple or queer couple. I actually rather see gay people make out because you see straight people make out waaay too often.

When I think of something "shoved down my throat," it means that it's like I am not allowed to question anything about it. The whole transgender thing is now just like out there and that's what is going on in the world now, but it still doesn't make sense to me. And it's like if you even question it you are considered a horrible person. I just honestly don't believe in the idea of transgender based on my current experience. I have a transgender step-sibling and she is a walking stereotype. I don't believe in gender so I can't believe in transgender either. I'm not saying I am unwilling to accept it if there is scientific proof, but I just don't see how you can define gender without resorting to stereotypes. I'm not even trying to be rude, I just don't understand. Regardless of my disbelief, I still think everyone should be treated with respect.
technically, "shoving it down my throat" would mean forcibly shoving something into one's throat to cause harm. like choking people.
it's surprisingly similar to the context in which people use it; they're being forced to accept and believe something all the time.
in your mother's case, she clearly doesn't quite accept it, and doesn't encourage you to embrace who you are. the way I see it is, she's shoving her lack of acceptance down your throat. it might be to do with lack of understanding, though. If she correlates 'transgender' with 'making out with people in front of parental figures', then she quite clearly has misinterpreted you.

it means dont try and force them to see it your way which is something i agree with. you shouldnt expect other people to think the same way as you and have a go at them when they dont. its not in your rights to do so. its best to leave them be and respect their wishes. its your problem not theirs

Basically what I think it means.
I'm fine with anyone who is non-hetero (I mean, I'm ace so of course I would be), or follows a certain religion or whatever. But I want you to also accept my sexuality/religion/whatever. I don't mind if you have a different sexuality/religion/whatever, but don't have a go at me for not having the same sexuality/religion/whatever as you, or try to force me to have the same as you.

from my experience it means "just shut up about it, if you even mention it once you are shoving it down my throat and making me really uncomfortable which makes you an actual Big Bad Social Justice Warrior because i don't like recognizing that hbtq+ people exist haha : )"
it's not shoving something down someone elses throat if you're literally just existing. you are allowed to talk about who you are and you are allowed to demand being called by the right pronouns and name, anything else is just absolutely ridiculous. If straight people can talk about their romantic life, then why can't hbtq+ people do so as well?
If cis people can remind people if they're using the wrong name without being SUCH A BOTHER and shoving it down other peoples' throats, then a trans person can do it too.
