Braunwyn Windham-Burke of The Real Housewives of The Real Housewives of Orange County came out as a lesbian via a GLAAD Zoom interview Wednesday.
She said, in part:
It's been something that I think everyone's kind of known has been coming, but I'm finally comfortable enough to say: I like women! I'm gay. You know, I'm a member of the LGBTQIA+ community. I am a lesbian. [Laughs] And it has taken my 42 years to say that.
Interestingly, she has seven children with her husband of over 20 years, and she (1) is still married to him, and (2) still lives with him, and (3) now asserts she has never been attracted to men.
I'm always fascinated by later-in-life coming-out stories; add to that a glitzy, reality-series backdrop, and it's fair to say that Windham-Burke's is a fairly unique situation.
This announcement was preceded by a high-profile same-sex kiss on the show that had tongues wagging.
Watch the full interview below — she's great at articulating her situation:

Pat Patterson, a WWE wrestling legend who became the sport's first out gay man, has died of cancer at 79.
Born in Montreal in 1941, Patterson began his wrestling career at 17. By 1979, he was the WWE's first Intercontinental Heavyweight Champion, having come out as gay earlier in the decade.

In spite of coming out, his being gay was not publicly referred to again until the end of his life, but it was acknowledged at all levels within the sport.
Patterson came out as gay in 2014 on an episode of WWE Legends' House, saying, “For once in my life, I'm gonna be me,” before talking about losing his partner of 40 years to a heart attack:

Like Vivian Maier except with a lot of friends who tucked, Linda Simpson was a chick with a camera in the right places at the right times — and in possession of the right eyes.

Her talents are on display, and I don't mean via wardrobe malfunction, in her new book The Drag Explosion, which gathers her many endearing and enduring images. I've seen her work, and she really was present at the moment when drag was underground one day and mainstream the next, chronicling that transformation one click at a time.
