Is this serious? Okay, I'll bite.
At 18, can't you simply leave the house on your own? I believe any action on her part to prevent such a thing would be a crime. Check local statutes first, but it couldn't happen where I live.
How does she think your not leaving the house will effect your bi-ness? Maybe you should tell her you met some really great member of the opposite sex and need to go meet that person, or even that that person says they won't go out with you because you are so controlled by your mom.
Or you could always point out that being bi means she has a 50/50 chance of liking who you'll be dating. Staying at home means you have only one sex to focus on (yourself) and might fully convert to gay.
Other than the non-legality of preventing you from leaving, I don't believe any of the above... but if she is as ignorant as you suggest, perhaps these other tactics would work.

You are forgetting something. Many people have vast amount of control over their children, even long after their children have turned 18. Despite disagreements, many people do find it hard to leave the home of their parents if their parents said no. Bringing the law into this is simply not an option for many people.

If I'm not mistaken, this is a classic case of emotional control. The victim could cry out for help. The victim could make up all kinds of excuses. The victims could even try to reason with the controller. But in the end, the victim will remain in the control of the controller.

In cases like this, logic rarely ever prevail.

Are you serious? No, really, are you serious?
Perhaps you grew up in a liberal and open environment, but many of us did not. There are few things stronger than an emotional control by a parent imposing on his/her children. Why do you think it is often the case that abused children absolutely refuse to testify against their parents despite the horrors they've been through?

TROLL ALERT!
For the last few years, this person has been siging up to EvC, posting silly one-line posts in text-message mode, only to get banned and then come back with a different name but same schtick. Previous names are darth vader, sammy, and a bunch of others;
