Two Down, Two (Sexual Orientations) To Go ... Who Will It Be?

 

I'm guessing it went down something like this.  It's a typical Friday night at Chateau Dubrow, and the entire klan is enjoying one of hunky chef Nick's gourmet pizzas right out of the Stefano Ferrara pizza oven, too much soda pop, and a rousing game of Crimes Against Humanity, courtesy of Noella.  Suddenly Kat Dubrow tells big sister Max ... "I'll call your bisexuality and raise you one lesbian!". 

 

A year after Heather and Terry Dubrow’s oldest daughter Max Dubrow came out as bisexual, second daughter, Kat, is ready to get in on the action as well.  In an upcoming episode of the Real Housewives of Orange County (set to air later this month), Kat reveals that she’s a lesbian.  While the 15-year-old came out to her family for over a year ago, it wasn’t until this year that she was ready to open up to the world about her sexuality. 

 

As you may recall, in the last episode, Noella accused Miss Fancy Pants of having "straight fragility", prompting Heather to blurt out, “I’ve got four kids, with four different sexualities, and we love and support all of them!".  Of course that got everyone's tongues wagging; wondering which kids are what?  So now Heather is speaking ... and speaking ... and speaking.

 

"We've got four kids, they are different genders, different sexualities, and all at interesting places in their lives, figuring out who they are and where they belong as humans" (as opposed to being aliens), Heather told People, US Mag, ET, Page Six, Radar, and probably the mail man.  She went on, "The journeys of our children at this stage of their lives, and sharing their stories, is a big part of why I chose to return to the Bravo series. I felt like our purpose is to keep those conversations going in other families.".  

 

The proud mortified mom shared that both of her daughters were very low-key in how they came out. Max did it via text, but apparently she and her Heather had already talked about it, and Max didn't remember.  Then like her big sister, Kat also chose to come out in the family's group text, but Heather somehow didn't see that particular message.  According to Heather, Kat texted, "By the way, I'm a lesbian." But having not seen that text in the thread, Heather's next text was, "Who let the dogs poop in the house?" "It was a total mom fail, and they've never let me forget that," she laughed.

 

"All I cared about was creating an environment where they all felt safe, comfortable, and happy.". Botched plastic surgeon husband, Terry Dubrow, are proud that they've fostered such a comfortable family environment where their daughters were comfortable enough to open up to them about their sexuality "Coming out with your sexuality is something that broadly affects a lot of different people ... we just want people to realize it should be part of normal conversations.", said Terry.

 

That effort to be open on the part of the parents hasn't gone unnoticed by the children, with Max saying, "Even if she doesn't understand something, my mom tries very hard and she learns and teaches herself and she grows with us.". Kat added that Heather has been making an effort with her as well, asking her about her pronouns among trillions of other questions. "It's really easy to talk to her," said Kat.  It's not like I have to build up courage if I have something to tell her.".

 

"We are so proud to show what our version of a 'normal' family looks like today," Heather told ET. "It's really important that we provide an environment of unconditional love and acceptance for our children, and let them know that humans come in all different colors, genders, sexualities. Once we start appreciating this and practicing inclusion, love and acceptance, the better off we will all be,".  Heather continued, "We hope that by sharing our story we are starting conversations in other homes and hopefully helping people.".  Heather let it slip that Kat's coming out story will play out in an upcoming episode of RHOC.  Yay, can't wait.

 

So let's run this down. Max is bisexual, Kat is full on lesbian, and we already know that Nick "identifies" as an old fashioned heterosexual (or so a disappointed Terry told the media some time ago).  So that only leaves 11 year old Coco.  I'm going with trans.  Yes folks, we've definitely got another Brawny and Sean situation on our hands.  The crap is annoying, but at least we get to enjoy ripping on them.
