Meridith Baxter, she of Family Ties fame, where she was the mother of Michael J. Fox and married, has been married and divorced 3 times in the real world.And now, at 62, Ms. Baxter had an announcement to make to the world, on the Today Show, this morning, telling Matt Lauer "I am a lesbian, and it was a later-in-life recognition. Some people would say, well, you're living a lie and, you know, the truth is – not at all. This has only been for the past seven years."
"I got involved with someone I never expected to get involved with, and it was that kind of awakening," she said. "I never fought it because it was like, oh, I understand why I had the issues I had early in life. I had a great deal of difficulty connecting with men in relationships."
Ms. Baxter has had a 4 year relationship with a building contractor named Nancy Locke.
Apparently that nasty celebrity blogger, Perez Hilton, posted some photos of Nancy and Meridith, taken while they were on a Caribbean cruise sponsored by a lesbian travel company.
Wasn't Ms. Baxter at one point in time Meridith Baxter Birney? And didn't she and the Birney husband star in a TV show? I can't remember the name and don't care enough to look it up.
