Meredith Baxter -- Michael J. Fox's mama "Elyse Keaton" on "Family Ties" -- just came out as a "later in life" lesbian.
Baxter, who's been married to men three times and has five children, revealed on "Today" she has been in a relationship with a woman for the past four years -- and the couple lives an out life together in L.A.
The revelation comes right as National Enquirer released a story saying Baxter went on a cruise with 1,200 other lesbians.

So, if she was young & hot it would be okay for her to come out? Everybody that doesn't die eventually gets old, why does that make them not important? She seems happy & in love, that's a beautiful thing at any age.

What a relief to hear she's a lesbian. The way NBC led up to it I was afraid she was going to say she had cancer or something life threatening. She's a great actress and seems like a nice person. It's her life to live as she wishes. I wish her nothing but happiness.

She played a great mum on TV on a classic show.
It must be difficult for the men she married (?) and I guess her kids but good for her for her. It must be a relief to tell the world and I wish her peace.

She seemed uncomfortable during the interview though. I felt sorry for her in that aspect, but then again she chose to go on tv and make this announcement. I agree that NBC led the viewers on to believe that something major was going to announced like cancer or drug using or something crazy so when she came out it was like oh just another day.
