“Family Ties” mom, Meredith Baxter went on the Today show to reveal that she is gay.
And this is news why? Just a thought here…when was the last time we saw a celeb go on a talk show just to talk about their hetero-ness?
Meredith played the mother of Michael J. Fox on the hit ‘80s television show.
“I guess I wanted to… say that I’m a lesbian,” Meredith said. “It was a later-in-life recognition of that fact.”
Meredith, 62, has been living life as a lesbian for seven years and confirmed that she has been involved in a relationship for four years with contractor Nancy Locke.
“I got involved with someone I never expected to get involved with and it was that kind of awakening and I never fought it because it was like, ‘Oh! I understand why I had the issues I had early in my life. I had a great deal of difficulty connecting with men in relationships… Sometimes, I assumed I was a bad picker, which I was indeed, but I also was involved with people who made me think, ‘Oh, they’re the problem,’ because there were problems with the people I chose. It never occurred to me to think, ‘Oh, it’s me.’”
But Meredith says she is extremely happy now.
Well, good for you Meredith!
