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.

Wait till she finds out how bitchy women can be...
Especially when no one cares.
It's not like she is up for the next wonder woman casting.
Just why does she need the publicity?
I always liked her. Still do. I still think she is hot.
“Wait till she finds out how bitchy women can be...”
Hahahahaha...now THAT is funny...
Translation: She got old, men stopped paying attention, the lesbos didn’t.
Proof that womens brain cells and eggs die at the same rate.
Actually, that really is true. President Lincoln wouldn't hire anyone until he saw their face first. If he liked the lines on their face, they got the job. If they looked liberal (ok, looked bitter or angry), he wouldn't hire them.
She had shiksa appeal!
Thank you!
She was never attracted to women, but has three failed marriages to men ... so, why not give it a shot? Sometimes bad relationships can scar a person, and drive them into behaviors in which they would not normally participate.
In a more extreme example ... Andrea Dworkin. She was beaten, raped, prostituted, etc. throughout the early stages of her life. Virtually ALL of her male relationships were with men (father, boyfriends, husbands, johns) that were complete scum. Her mind became warped — and she became a rabid man-hating lesbian radical feminist.
This is likely just another example of that — though to a lesser degree. Baxter was poorly treated by several men (at least in her opinion), and began preferring women.

I never liked that show.
So I guess Bridget no longer loves Bernie. (I knew that was over a long time ago, just remember the TV show).
Well, it’s finally time for me to come out of the closet.....
I became a hardcore lesbian when I was 12 years old......
Of course, I’m I guy, but I’ve always been strangely attracted to women......LOL
Gross answer! However, there is a local restaurant owned and operated by lesbians named, "Lickety Split". True! ;)
I’m well aware of what the thread is about and would turn her straight.
Cute comment jess...
“If you have to announce your sex life, there’s something wrong with you.” Especially when no one cares.

Exactly. It couldn’t be anything wrong with her personality.....nooooo.
Chef: Uhh... Look, all you need to know is, Ms. Ellen’s a lesbian, and that means she only likes OTHER lesbians.
KYLE: Weak, dude. She only likes other lesbians?
STAN: Hey, man, if she only likes other lesbians, then all we gotta do is become lesbians too!
KYLE: Hey, Yeah!
CARTMAN: You guys, you know what? My grandma was Dutch-Irish and my grandpa was lesbian! That makes me quarter lesbian!
STAN:I can’t wait for Ms. Ellen to see what a raging lesbian I am!
CARTMAN: I’m a bigger lesbian than you
STAN: No, you’re a FATTER lesbian than me.
