does that mean she wanted me to know because she liked me or did she tell me because she wants to be accepted as who she is

Possibly.

I am a bisexual female and it was a great relief to be able to tell my friends without being judged. I definitely wasn't hitting on them but was tired of pretending that it wasn't the way I am. I would say she is just wanting to be accepted. Believe it or not, just because we like girls doesn't mean that we're attracted to every female we come in contact with.

Most likely, she just wanted you to be able to accept her as she is--and that requires knowing facts about her like what kinds of people she might date, in the future.
When I first came out as bisexual, a lot of my straight, female friends had panic attacks, thinking that either: 1) I was coming on to them, or 2) that they needed to make their conversation topics more "lesbian friendly" (telling me about the cute sisters of the men they were dating). All I wanted was to be able to tell them if I was interested in a bisexual or gay woman!
Bisexual/gay women aren't (unless they have no self-esteem whatsoever) looking for straight women to have love affairs with. They want to date women who are just as attracted to them, and from your question, I would assume that you are not interested in women romantically/sexually...so no worries, your friend isn't trying to change your relationship, she just wants your friendship to be one that is open, in which you can talk to one another about things you might hide from family, co-workers, and peers.

Maybe she wants you to accept her and just needed to tell someone to get the weight off her chest. If she likes you as more than a friend you'll pick up the signals soon enough. If you're not receptive, please be kind; nothing hurts more than rejection.

I've told my friends that I'm bi while having no interest in having a relationship with me. Part of coming out includes telling your friends - bi's want to be accepted to! In a perfect, non-judgmental world, we would be able to say, "Hi, my name is So-And-So and I am bi", but like how college students introduce themselves with their major.

Hi babe, my name is Debi and Im a homo.
I just wanted you to know.
If you were my friend, I would especially like you to know,
not because i wanna hit on you, but because you should know
who i am. I would hope you would do the same for me.
acceptance is something we are seek and cherish

I would go with the acceptance angle first and see if she is pursuing some more intimate

Accept her as who she is first...and if you're interested in her...look for more clarification

She trusts you. Maybe she just wanted to talk to someone about it, and she figured she could talk to you.

Yes to one of those. If you want to find out which it is, don't ask us ask her.
