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.

Hottest TV mom ever, IMO. I’ve had a crush on her since Bridget Loves Bernie.
Ewww!
Sheesh! If there was ever a picture that would turn an outie into an innie!
LMAO...that's just wrong! ;-)
Travolta stole Kirk Douglas’s soul right there.
Looks like a scene from some B-horror movie where the monster stays forever young by sucking the life essence from hapless victims! I swear, Douglas’ skin looks almost translucent. And if I were Douglas, I don’t think I’d want to do what would have to be done to get it back.
That’s weird. I’m a lesbian Dad! I can’t get enough of my wife!
That was years ago. Who KNOWS what failed marriages might have done to him by now.
He’s into trains. I bought a model train magazine that came with an instructional video and he’s the narrator.
Bridget loves Carpet-Burnie. Who knew?
Whatever...at least she didn’t push it on us. She worked to entertain people instead of indoctrinating people on accepting mental illness as a lifestyle.
She sounds more confused than anything. This is what it is - “sexual confusion.”
In her case, I suspect it's the result of too much time in the sun.
She and kelly McGillis oughta hook up; a couple old has-been carpet-eaters
And I’m worth it!
“Hottest TV mom ever, IMO. Ive had a crush on her since Bridget Loves Bernie.”
Nah. Peg Bundy was hotter. But a dirty kind of hot for sure.
This topic could be a whole entire thread.
Such simplistic thinking.
Rock Hudson and Doris Day?
