Mrs. Keaton Is A Proud Member Of The Gayelle Club!
Meredith Baxter has swung open the front doors of Home Depot and ran through the aisles declaring her love for vagina while sawdust confetti fell from the sky!
In interviews with The Advocate, Today and People, Mrs. Keaton has come out as a late-in-life lesbian. Skippy's glasses just exploded.
She said that she has decided to speak out about it now, because the National Enquirer recently ran pictures of her on a lesbian cruise (The S.S. Dockers) with her partner of 4 years Nancy Locke. Meredith wanted to beat the tabloids to the cooch, and tell the world in her own words on her terms. Nancy told Matt Lauer, “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’ve always lived a very private life. To come out and disclose stuff is very antithetical to who I am.”
Meredith, who has been married three times before and has five grown children, said that she always had fucked up relationships with dudes. When she fell in love with a lady seven years ago, everything started to make sense for her. Something clicked in her brain and her lady parts! She explained, “I got involved with someone I never expected to get involved with, and it was that kind of awakening. I never fought it because it was like, oh, I understand why I had the issues I had early in life."
Her family, friends and her Family Ties castmates all know she's a gayelle and have been nothing but supportive.
These days, Meredith spends her days working on a skincare line and traveling the country to speak about her battles with breast cancer and the booze. And she will also add fighting for gay rights to her plate, “This is a political act, even though that’s not what it feels like to me. If anyone knows someone who’s gay or lesbian … they’re less likely to vote against them to take away their rights. I can be that lesbian you know now…”
You know, Mrs. Keaton actually surprised me. If there was one member of the Keaton family that I figured winked at the ladies, it was Tina Yothers. I mean, she does know how to wear the shit out of a flannel shirt. Now let's all give Mrs. Keaton a soul hug. Sha-la-la-laaaaaaa!

Does this mean she now has to get the obligatory bad dyke haircut like all the other carpet munchers after they came out?
wow there is some drama on these comments. anygays, this article reminds me of jem and the holograms when the bands broke up? theres this scene where stormer and kimber run along the beach holding hands like a bunch of fabulous outed gayelles. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FbYzy5bvLmE&NR=1
I think CandyPerfumeGal makes some interesting points but I think it's US culture that does this (late-in-life-lesbianism or turning to other women to feel attractive) to women. Europeans are different about this issue, esp. the French. Just look at Catherine Deneuve, Jeanne Moreau, etc. They are cast in roles where they are involved with men 20 years younger. And in real life, they're not lacking in sexual attractiveness.
Americans just have very strange notions of beauty, aging, women, and sex, IMO. Latin culture also doesn't seem to have a time limit for women to be sexy.

Damn...and all these decades I assumed Kristy was the only dyke on "Family". If I ever see Sada Thompson shopping for dental dams, I'll pass out in horror.
By the way, how come there are so few (if any at all) middle aged men that somehow claim they are gay and have always been? I have never seen one of these male actors, like Harrison Ford, Kevin Costner etc come out after 50 years claiming they have always been gay. No, its always women because we women are desperate. The likes of Harrison Ford and Kevin Costner got married to women half their age, so of course they are not parched for love and wont need to turn to same sex relationships. Whereas men become more attractive as they age (to a limit), women just get old.
Middle aged men dont need to be gay or desperate because they get married to 20 year olds after a failed marriage. But middle aged women, unless they wanna become cat ladies, dont have much of a choice. I hate to say it, but the cards are not in our favor as women when we age. It's not sexism or anything, it is biological reality.

I dont buy it. I doubt she has been a lesbian in hiding for the past 50 or 60 years of her life. To suppress yourself that much is almost impossible - especially in these times and days where they acceptance of homosexuality is higher than it has ever been (in the US at least).
Look at her interview. She has been married 3 times (which is enough to leave you bitter and disillusioned in men) and picked the wrong men. And so now she conveniently thinks that the reason her marriages failed and that she picked the wrong men is not just rotten luck maybe or bad judgment but because she has always been gay? Picking the wrong men doesnt mean you are gay.
I think what happened to her and Kelly McGillis etx is that they just had one too many unsuccessful relationships with men. There is only so much betrayal, dishonesty and non-love one can get before seriously going overboard. Meredith is probably at a point in her life where she feels like she is getting older, losing her lustre. Men go after women one third her age, and that makes a woman feel lonely and scared. She realizes that she needs love and companionship more than anything. So...she turns her girl friendships into more. I doubt she is biologically gay (as in she has always been but denied it) - I think circumstance probably drove her into the safe haven of no male companionship.
I mean if she is single and in her late 50s, her chances of finding a male lifeparnter are practically zero; seriously folks. How many middle aged women do you know who find everlasting love? It is hard enough in your 30s, how bad do you think it will be when you are 50 or 60? So she turns to what she can have: a meaningful, loving relationship with another human being who happens to be a woman - which is perfectly fine because it shouldnt matter who you chose to love. Just dont pretend you have always been gay.

I also have to question the whole late in life lesbian...I mean being married is a pain in the ass at times, but if I wasn't, I would surround myself with all kinds of sausage. I love men because they are nothing like me... Were these woman always lesbians or just happy to take love in any form?
Maybe I'm just a sausage lovin' ho.....
"Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder? "
Not shocked about the puss-lovin', but I'm crying over the "non-existent" lips comment. Hilarious.
Meredith looks like your run-of-the mill-LL Bean, hiking boots, sports bra & windchapped skinned lesbian. I mean if she isn't trail running, she's golfing and zipping around in her Outback.
"Excuse me, do these effectively hide my thunder? "
CPF: sometimes, people don't realize why (or don't want to) they don't feel right with themselves.
Sometimes it takes bad relationships or the freedom menopause affords one at being older and wiser and really KNOWING and liking yourself for who you are.
The older one gets, the more they realize they don't have to conform to familial or social restraints.
This sucks.
Why do women turn gay after menopause and after bitter relationships with men?

Tyroan: what IS Mallory up to? We never hear about Justine Bateman anymore.
starsign: I can't say anything but good things about Meredith, I remember when she went through her divorce to the "Adam's Apple" guy...
She's a lovely person.
Love, love, love, love, love, love her! She will always be Elise Keaton to me. I love Family Ties, one of the best family sitcoms EVER! The whole cast were fantastic, great memories.
I wish Meredith the very, very best and thank her for some wonderful memories. Bless you Meredith
p.s She was also wonderful as Nancy in Family!
This news does not imperil my long-planned threesome with Mrs. Keaton and Mallory... but judging by that video we'll need a time machine to go back to 1989.
If you think Meredith has aged badly, you should check out another Lesbian who came out. . .

The most offensive thing here is that she's working on a skincare line. Her skin is beyond horrible- sundamaged and wrinkled well beyond her age. I wonder if she skincare line actually accelerates the aging process?

I used to watch Family Ties all the time. I didn't realize it at the time, but later on I kind of had a feeling that Meredith Baxter was a carpet muncher. If you notice, a lot of lesbians have very thin, non-existent lips (get it out of the gutter!). Examples: Ellen DeGeneres, SamRo, Jodie Foster, k.d. lang, Rosie O'Donnell, Martina Navritilova, and now Mrs. Keaton!
Of course, it could just be a coincidence.

LOLOL. I was sort of thinking the same thing. About the lips. Which I felt really stupid for thinking. But you know. It's a little more than the lips. I'm not surprised by this news either. She just has this whole white bread, crunchy hippie, undercover butch look to her. I mean the butch is undercover, not the lezzie.
Ha! Ms. Caligula! I was thinking the same exact thing. She was great as Betty Broderick. She's also a gayelle in the brink too most likely.
Good for Meredith. If she's happy. Good for her.

I blame Oprah for this. Ever since she had to unburden herself about her sexual abuse and being knocked-up, we have now had to endure the tell-alls of fucking celebrities, major and minor and then all the regular fucks that have to expose their dirty laundry on the air. The world was a better place when people just kept their shit to themselves, their shrink and their clergy.
I've always loved Baxter but a skin care line is questionable.
Maybe a skin care line is not the best idea?

Nice infomercial sweater there Mer!
Why do celebs always seem to come out when they haven't had steady work in ages? And who really gives a shit who this woman is banging?

Gawd I so wanted to fuck her when I was a kid watching family ties!
I think there should be an acronym for these Late In Life Lesbians, like LILLies or something. 'Cause "gayelle" sounds too young to be applied to someone old enough to have great-grandchildren.
There seem to be a lot of these lately. I wonder if it's a menopause thing, like once you can no longer make babies, you don't crave the cock any more. I wonder if this will happen to me in the next few years. Hm.
I read Meredith's imdb page, and learned that her mother was a co-creator of "One Day at a Time."
vvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvvv
You're stunned, I know. It's hard to believe isn't it, that beneath this wrinkled, well-fed exterior there lies a dangerous killing machine with a fetish for Fawkesian masks.
What would we do baby without us?
On the topic of her partner Nancy Locke-
up thread was a link to a imdb article of an actress Nancy Locke.
in the printed articles about Ms Baxter, the Nancy Locke in question is listed as a 56 year old building contractor.
Are these two Lockes one and the same?

I know it's bad of me, but I recall laughing like a hyena at the part in that movie where she left her mother or MIL in the car, went in a grocery store and binged on cookies and milk, went behind the building to purge, and then got back in the car like nothing happened. I was young, I didn't know it wasn't funny. But now I'm old, and I'm laughing again.

Interesting revelation. I have always liked Meredith Baxter.

good for her
her bravery is appreciated
every person who comes out makes it a little easier for the next
I would have guessed Mallory was the gayelle.
um this one is a big DUH
on the who cares tip..(haha)I wonder if I'm a butchie?
I ALWAYS have problems with men...I'm always dominate.I like to fuck.....hmmmm.maybe I'm on to something.....
And how does this enrich our lives? Good for you Meredith, but who cares really?

I met her before she became a Gayelle when she was sort of dating an aquaintance of mine and she seemed really cool...
I couldnt figure out what she was doing with this particular guy because he was a freaking pain in the arse...
"NOSOPD -Not our sort of person darling"
That is some good shit...kudos to you Meredith.
"Fuck me running..."
because the National Enquirer recently ran pictures of her on a lesbian cruise (The S.S. Dockers)

I think it's great she has found love and is happy.
What shocks me is that she is going to come out with a skincare line with skin like that?! She needs a visit to the botox fairy first.
