confrontation between Heather Dubrow and Taylor Armstrong<\/a>, the latter shared that she was the furthest thing from \u201canti-woman.\u201d<\/p>\nThe Housewives sat around, sharing information about themselves. New information.<\/p>\n
Taylor Armstrong had something to share: she is bisexual. It was not news to everyone<\/em>, but it was to most!<\/p>\nA fitting revelation for the final RHOC <\/em>episode to air during Pride Month 2023!<\/p>\n<\/noscript>On Season 17, the cast of The Real Housewives of Orange County took a trip to an upscale but depressingly brown \u201ccowboy\u201d experience. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhile on this week\u2019s excursion to a less than authentic \u201ccowboy\u201d experience, the ladies sat down for a bite.<\/p>\n
They had worked up an appetite while riding a mechanical bull. Well, some of them had. Also, the spread of food? Absolutely mouth-watering.<\/p>\n
Anyway, they decided to share things about themselves that others did not know. When it was Taylor Armstrong\u2019s turn, she came out with an easy answer. By coming out.<\/p>\nNever one to be too prim and proper to have fun, Tamra Judge took a mechanical bull for a spin on RHOC Season 17. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cI\u2019m bisexual,\u201d Taylor told her castmates. \u201cNow are you nervous about me being in the bunk house with you?\u201d (We\u2019ll address that second part in a moment)<\/p>\n
Tamra Judge, Shannon Beador, Heather Dubrow, Jennifer Pedrantic, and Gina Kirschenheiter were present. <\/p>\n
Emily Simpson, unfortunately, could not make the trip.<\/p>\nOn Season 17, Episode 4 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Taylor Armstrong spoke about being bisexual. She previously had a relationship with a woman that spanned for five years. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nTamra quickly acknowledged that this information was not \u201ca shock\u201d to her.<\/p>\n
Remember, she and Jennifer Armstrong became good buds while filming Ultimate Girls Trip<\/em>.<\/p>\nShe knew. In fact, Tamra also knew that her friend had once \u201chad a full-blown relationship with a woman.\u201d<\/p>\nTamra Judge is well aware of the personality quirks of some of her castmates, she tells the camera during Season 17. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cCorrect,\u201d Taylo confirmed. She detailed that this 5-year relationship happened before her marriage to Russel Armstrong.<\/p>\n
There was a bit of a stir of surprise at the duration, with Taylor joking: \u201cHell, I know marriages that don\u2019t last that long.\u201d<\/p>\n
And there are even marriages that last exactly that long. Meghan King knows that, right Vicki?<\/p>\nHere we thought Vicki Gunvalson was just being mean to Meghan King Edmonds. She was a prophet. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cMost people are surprised to find out that I\u2019m bisexual,\u201d Taylor acknowledged to the confessional camera.<\/p>\n
She acknowledged that this was \u201cProbably because just like stereotypes.\u201d <\/p>\n
A lot of people think that they know what bi folks look like<\/em>, and it makes that sprawling and diverse community even more invisible than they already are.<\/p>\nTaylor Armstrong wore this deep blue ensemble for her confessional segments during Season 17 of RHOC. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\u201cIt\u2019s not something I broadcast,\u201d Taylor then admitted.<\/p>\n
\u201cBut,\u201d she described, \u201cI\u2019m open to all people that have great souls and you can love.\u201d<\/p>\n
That\u2019s beautiful! Congratulations to Taylor (not that this is new information to her, but it\u2019s great that she came out).<\/p>\nTaylor Armstrong brought up a point of contention while chatting with Tamra Judge and awaiting their food. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nWhy did Taylor make such a chill joke about a potential bigot in their midst?<\/h2>\n We mentioned that we were going to talk about Taylor\u2019s joking question about if anyone felt \u201cnervous.\u201d<\/p>\n
Obviously, she was kidding. And no one expressed any misgivings about sharing a roof with her.<\/p>\n
Just for the record, there are almost no circumstances where \u201cI don\u2019t want to share a house with someone who is in a marginalized community<\/em>\u201d is not decidedly bigoted. So, thankfully, nobody got weird about it.<\/p>\nGina Kirschenheiter had the correct assessment of Heather Dubrow\u2019s Season 17, Episode 4 conflict on RHOC. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut why make the joke it all? In part, we\u2019re sure, to ease tensions. <\/p>\n
Also, we suspect, for generational <\/em>reasons. Taylor was born in the very early 1970s, making her part of the older half of Gen X.<\/p>\nAnd bi folks (and others in the LGBTQ+ communities) sometimes have different ways of engaging with straight people in their fifties than, say, Millennials in their twenties or thirties.<\/p>\nIn a flashback scene during Season 17, we see Taylor Armstrong have a not-too-fun conversation with a castmate. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nSimply put, some older folks in the LGBTQ+ community \u2014 those in their fifties or sixties \u2014 might have different standards for acceptance.<\/p>\n
If you grew up in a time when \u201cthis person will not disown or literally kill me<\/em>\u201d qualified as acceptance, you might not think of someone saying something ignorant or derogatory as a dealbreaker.<\/p>\nIt is possible that Taylor might have merely winced and moved on if one of her castmates had said something biphobic.<\/p>\nTamra Judge sat down with Taylor Armstrong on Season 17, Episode 4 of RHOC. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nBut that would not have made it acceptable if she had. <\/p>\n
It would simply mean that she had decided to put up with something that no one should have to endure.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, generally speaking, a lot of younger LGBTQ+ are less likely to entertain microaggressions and ignorance in any voluntary <\/em>relationship.<\/p>\nOn Season 17, Episode 4 of The Real Housewives of Orange County, Heather Dubrow spoke to the confessional camera. (Bravo)<\/span><\/figcaption><\/figure>\nIf we had to guess, we\u2019d say that Heather Dubrow\u2019s kids could weigh in on this. Not <\/em>that they need to.<\/p>\nMax is bi. Kat is a lesbian. Ace is trans. The Dubrow kids know that they have a loving and accepting family who will not only embrace who they are, but fight to defend them when needed.<\/p>\n
It\u2019s likely that Taylor has had experiences in her life when she was not around people to whom she could safely come out. We\u2019re glad that her RHOC <\/em>castmates were more welcoming.<\/p>\n<\/p><\/div>\nSource link <\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Before the explosive confrontation between Heather Dubrow and Taylor Armstrong, the latter shared that she was the furthest thing from \u201canti-woman.\u201d The Housewives sat around, sharing information about themselves.
