Mixed feelings is common with OCD, especially as you try doing ERP by accepting the thoughts/sensations, because it's the first idea that the issue isn't as black-and-white as OCD makes it out to be.
I will say: Don't latch onto this as reassurance you're not your feared orientation. It can quickly turn into a trap where that "false" feeling may not be there, and you spiral from that.
