Alex P. Keaton's TV mom on "Family Ties" is gay.
That's what actress Meredith Baxter told this week's People magazine.
"I'm a lesbian mom," Baxter, who played Elyse Keaton on the popular 1980s sitcom, told the magazine. "I feel like I'm being honest for the first time."
Baxter, 62, said she started dating women several years ago, but before that, being gay "had never crossed my mind."
Baxter said three failed marriages led to several difficult years in her life.
"I was never comfortable with myself," she said. "That doesn't mean I was questioning."
The actress says she is in a long-term relatioship with contractor Nancy Locke, and that her five kids all know, and support her.

Kelly Preston was also on this cruise and was flirting and flaunting but they said Meredith and her companion were quiet and dignified and kept to themselves.Travolta's wife is a rugmuncher?? Has anyone told him about this?

Baxter, 62, said she started dating women several years ago, but before that, being gay "had never crossed my mind."In other words, she had NO lesbian impulses until then? (Or she wasn't one until a few year ago?) Wouldn't that mean that she decided to be a lesbian? That she made a choice?
Oops, how insensitive of me!

Women just aren’t as visual as men when it comes to sexual attraction. This is one reason so many lesbians are heavy, or plain. They love each other anyway and if one leaves another it will be for emotional reasons, not because one partner met someone with a prettier butt, as with straight people.
