In case you missed it:
Braunwyn’s here and she’s queer!
The mother of seven proudly told GLAAD in an interview, “I like women. I’m gay.”
“I’m a member of the LGBTQ+ community. It has taken me 42 years to say that but I am so proud of where I am right now. I’m so happy where I am. To be able to be comfortable in my own skin after so long is just so nice.”
“I’m just now starting to feel like I’m becoming the woman I’m supposed to be,” she added. “I’ve always known it, but it took me, personally, 42 years to be comfortable in my own skin to say that.”

What about her husband?
Braunwyn and her husband of 20 years, Sean Burke, aren’t planning on divorcing and that the family is “in unchartered territories.”
“Sean and I are still married, I plan on staying married,” she said. “We are not sleeping in the same bedroom right now, but we are in the same house. We are raising our kids together, he’s my best friend.”
In a seeming reference to Kris, she added, “he knows the girl I’m dating.”
Saying her children weren’t surprised when she came out, Windham-Burke added, “I don’t know how we are making it all work right now, but we are.”
