Meredith Baxter Photographed with Girlfriend **Update: Baxter Out Lesbian**
Update: Meredith Baxter comes out this morning as a lesbian to People Magazine and on the Today Show.
Elyse Keaton is gay! Meredith Baxter, of Family Ties and of course several classic made-for-TV movies fame, was photographed with a woman who appears to be her girlfriend. Posted today on Perez Hilton, the pics show Baxter and someone who, let's admit, could be her sister or other relative, shopping, eating donuts and reading the paper. However, in one of the shots, she's hugging the woman from behind — which leads me to believe she could indeed be a GF.
Oh yeah, and yesterday it was reported that she was recently spotted on lesbian loveboat, the "Sweet Carribean Cruise." You be the judge. Love you, Meredith!
**Update, Dec 12th 10:12 AM** Baxter outs herself to People Magazine:
Before Baxter, 62, first started dating women seven years ago, the thought of being gay "had never crossed my mind," she tells PEOPLE. Having been in three failed marriages to men (most famously to actor David Birney), she says of her many difficult years before coming out, "I was never comfortable with myself." But she's quick to add, "That doesn't mean I was questioning."
Now in a four-year relationship with building contractor Nancy Locke – the couple have lived together for two years – the actress, who continues to act and run a skincare company, says, "I feel like I'm being honest for the first time."

Go Meredith!
We love you Meredith! Thanks for coming out, and thanks for joining us on the Sweet Caribbean Cruise www.discoversweet.com.
Is there a story here?
I'm not really seeing it.
There's a thin line...still...
Thanks for the Perez/Parasite link
It reminded me of why I don't go there. Read the comments ... there are some disgusting human beings on that site. The fact the Queen himself posts and allows such homophobia says it all.
Hey
Did you guys read this news article from over on the right in "headlines?"

Perez got it right.
Hey, all you east coasters! I just saw Matt Lauer give a teaser about Meredith Baxter making a very private announcement. Did she come out? What's the skinny?
Edit: I couldn't wait (I have to go to work) so I did a Google search and found this-

Call the number that's
Call the number that's listed.
very special episodes
Perfect and I'll bet they played it after one of the very special episodes. And also, if I recall, she also played a lesbian mom in a made for TV movie.

Roseanne
Anybody remember the episode from Roseanne featuring the TV moms?
June Cleave: Girls kissing girls... vulgar language, and teenaged sex!
Roseanne Conner: Yeah that stuff is kinda bad... you wanna hear how much I make?
[everybody huddles, Roseanne tells them]
June Cleaver: Oh my God... why, I'd make out with a chick for that kind of cash!
Louise Jefferson: Any one of you, let's go.

I remember that!
I find it funny how all the women I had strange obsessions with as a kid have all turned out to be gay (or rumored) kinda interesting to me. Maybe I DO have gaydar! (it's not as fun as my gay-tar though) ;P

Ditto
Rockets, I was thinking the exact same thing!
really?
I don't remember that episode but it's hilarious to think of Louise Jefferson saying that.
My job is far from
My job is far from gay-friendly, but imagine having to be on fuckin FAMILY TIES while you were gay?
I dunno, there's something
I dunno, there's something about hot hippie-on-Republican action that speaks to me of being inherently queer.
Did we not already know that?
Wow! First Who's The Boss?'s
Wow! First Who's The Boss?'s Judith Light and NOW Elyse Keaton, too?!?! If Mrs. Garret from Facts of Life comes out, I think my brain might explode like a half-baked potato in the Cage-Crandall household.
WOOOT?
Judith Light???
What planet was I on?

Oh, honey. She's been out for
Oh, honey. She's been out for like, three years or something!
Okay, apparently I stand
Okay, apparently I stand HUGELY corrected. I swear I remember reading or hearing somewhere that Judith Light had come out as being queer a few years back, but someone just pointed out to me that while JL has been a staunch ally of the gays for years now, she has been married to the same dude foreverz. (My thanks to Mojonation for the heads up.)
Can someone please pass the salt? My foot is a little underseasoned today.
<------- Shut In
WOW - Well then! Good for her!

I didn't know about Judith
I didn't know about Judith Light! Although thinking about it......
She CRACKS me up on Ugly Betty!!
TRUE
Or what about Maggie Seaver from Growing Pains?
You know who'd be super hot
You know who'd be super hot as some old skool TV mom-on-mom action? Samantha from Bewitched and Morticia Addams.
Mortantha v. Godzilla
Nice, but they'd be called Mortantha and that sounds like something that would fight Godzilla.
Who do you see Laura Petrie with? Before your time, but one of my early "interests."

You know, later when she got her own show.
I bet they did it. That's why
I bet they did it. That's why Rhoda got a divorce.

Perfect couple
Samantha... Gets all dreamy
Samantha... Gets all dreamy eyed. What would be great is Samantha and ME. I had such a crush on her. Oh, who am I kidding I still think she was smoking hot.
I always thought cousin
I always thought cousin Serena gave off a bi-vibe (bive if you will).

The same
actress played Samantha and Serena......Nice Vibe!!!
Lake
Ha! I'd forgotten about
Ha! I'd forgotten about cousin Serena. I can see the bi thing.
morticia!
The good girl and the bad girl. I love it. Morticia was such a dom. Even better would be Jeannie, as in I Dream of... and Morticia.
I so want to see a Powerpuff
I so want to see a Powerpuff Girls style cartoon in which Morticia keeps Samantha and Jeannie in her dungeon. HHHHOT. Not to mention, HILAAAARE!
Holy hell
What the hell ever happened to the Powerpuff girls? I feel like they were on my pencil case and then boom! nothing.

Powerpuff Girls
chelilektra-
haha!
I was wondering about them the other day in fact. There was that big resurgence of PP Girls in the early 00's with that movie, then they disappeared. I was one of those adult women wearing a PP backpack. Embarrassing.
The Grim Adventures of Sam
The Grim Adventures of Sam and Jeannie. Ha ha ha ha ha.
Away in a Dungeon?
I think I have the appropriate action figures to recreate that if you and CT want to borrow them. That would be a fun diorama to make. Hmmm. I've been trying to figure out the theme for this year's creche.

Rainbow Brite?
Would it be too weird to throw in a splash of Rainbow Brite and her green girlfriend?
