'They are different sexualities'
In an interview with People, Dubrow said, "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." Her daughter Max came out as bisexual, and her second daughter Kat came out as lesbian recently. Describing Ace, Terry had called the pre-teen "always been incredibly strong-willed" and called Ace a "very complex, layered person." Before further adding, “[Ace] going through a lot of self-exploration right now. Everyone always looked at [Ace] because [Ace] dresses 'like a boy', which, I hate those kinds of labels. It's clothing. Clothing should just be clothing at this point," added Heather. The 54-year-old mother continued, "Billy Porter wears a gorgeous gown down the runway. He looks phenomenal. What does it matter what we're wearing? [Ace] is a very cool kid."
'I have to build up courage'
A reputed plastic surgeon and the star of 'Botched,' Terry said, "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." Earlier, Kat said about her mother Heather, "She's asked me trillions of questions that really show she cares. She's asked me about my pronouns. It's really easy to talk to her. It's not like I have to build up courage if I have something to tell her."
