Actress Meredith Baxter reveals she is a lesbian
NEW YORK – Meredith Baxter, who played mother Elyse Keaton on the
1980s TV series "Family Ties," has revealed that she is a lesbian.
"I am a lesbian, and it was a later-in-life recognition of that fact,"
the 62-year-old actress said in an interview Wednesday on NBC's
"Today" show.
Baxter said she has been in a relationship with her girlfriend, a
general contractor, for four years.
"Some people are saying, were you living a lie? And, you know, the
truth is, not at all. This has only been in the past seven years," she
said.
Baxter has been married three times, including to David Birney, her co-
star on the '70s TV series "Bridget Loves Bernie." She is the mother
of five children.
Baxter said she is "extraordinarily happy" and the support from her
family and friends was immediate and unqualified.

This one was a shock. I saw the tease on the Today show, saying
she had something she'd been hiding.
I figured she'd just come out of rehab ;)

Kinda surprising to me, too.
I've known several women who came out that late in life. For them, it was
a slow discovery or process to discover their attraction to women rather
than a conscious, closeted life.

I guess it's time to go thru the list of lesbian BIs to find a match.
