Although she’s not the first out queer Real Housewife — that title belongs to [Julia Lemigova](https://www.nbcnews.com/nbc-out/out-pop-culture/real-housewives-miami-reboot-includes-franchises-1st-lesbian-couple-rcna8766), Martina Navratilova’s wife, on Real Housewives of Miami — Lyons will be the first one in New York, somehow.
