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.

Aging actress, tough or impossible to find acting gigs, used to a comfy life style, possessing a career-obsession which demands public attention........whatever.......it beomes high time for a "shocking revelation" and a "dramatic announcement" to get back into a spotlight of sorts.
A familiar SOP with more than a few Hollyweirdo and other entertainment types.
But, in many cases it works....Meredith will now be making the talk-show circuit and then will be hired to to reveal her ancient boobs from the stage during the Super Bowl half-time show.
American culture eats this stuff up.

I remember her when I was a grade-school kid and she was doing “Bridget Loves Bernie”. Trust me on this, back in the Seventies and Eighties, we would have hit it.

So, after driving three men completely insane in three marriages she figured it out."No Man can stay married to me! What's wrong with all of them?"

Sorry, Mike, but you don’t seem to be getting the gist of this whole thread...no, you would NOT hit it...unless Mike is short for Michelle...
