Actress Meredith Baxter Says She’s a Lesbian – Source ABC News

Meredith Baxter came out of the closet recently.  She says that she has only known for the last 7 years that she was a lesbian.  What a shocker!

She was in the 80’s sitcom Family Ties which I watched every week as a teenager. I never thought anything “gay” related about her except that I figured she might take it hard if she ever found out that her child was gay and that she probably would’ve been too judgmental.

Apparently not.

Well now that she is out of the closet she will most likely start getting more roles and not just on the scorned lady channels. Let’s hope she gets another sitcom soon so we can see her again because I do kinda miss her on TV and now that she’s a sista I miss her even more.

You go gurlfriend!

  • That is a surprise. (Who knows what we'll discover online at 3 in the morning. LOL ) I used to watch the show, "Family" (different from "Family Ties". "Family" (with Mathew Brodderick's real-life father as her father) was on - I think - in the late 70's. (I do kind of wonder, though, how on Earth she didn't know until so recently???) :)
  • I don't know, she says it's only the last 7 years, maybe she just got tired of men after all those movies she did on Lifetime lol.
  • Another example of a woman turning gay out of convenience. She's been married 3 times, hyphenated her name, then un-hyphenated it, has 5 kids and now she realized she's gay. In my opinion, if you are gay you are gay - you can't turn it on and off like a switch. Otherwise you're no better than Anne Heche or Lindsey Lohan
