If no-one suspected she's lesbian then isn't that down to great acting in her roles as 'all American' tv mom? Personally,I find it all rather distasteful that people,famous or otherwise,STILL have to 'come out' in this day & age.I do understand the reasons behind it,so I'm not being offensive when I say this.But it is just such a personal thing.But I suppose if it helps others realise they aren't alone then it can't all be bad.Bless her,she seems a wonderful woman.
I definitely agree with you and cinderindi. No one has to come out as straight, it doesn't make sense why anyone should come out as anything. Relationships happen. As long as they are healthy, strong and meaningful relationships than who cares? Hopefully in another 20 years things will be vastly different.
@FMLFYT ,Thanks.Yes,I take your point,coming out shouldnt have to happen.Sadly,however,so long as there's bigotry & misinformation,oh & religious intolerance,I can't honestly see things changing anytime soon.Some people will always see alternative relationships as somehow wrong,regardless of the evidence that they aren't 'dangerous' or 'undermining traditional relationships'.But you're right there's always hope.
I wish that the phrase "coming out" didn't exist anymore. People don't 'come out' and admit heterosexuality. We are living in a time where perhaps FINALLY FINALLY we can all just accept relationship as being "oh, you're in love and in a relationship with so and so.... cool!". Without noticing/caring/labeling the genders involved.
was painful and uncomfortable to watch. i understand her feelings. she's lucky though, cuz she ain't me. I'm a homosexual man trapped inside of a lesbian. We're never, ever happy.
She's worried about talking about it on TV, but nobody remembers her because she hasn't been in anything since Family Ties except an occasional TV movie that no one watched. So she decided to do this when there was no reason to?

Aahhh you gotta love Meredith buh now i know shes gay i love her more XD haha, her and Nancy are so cute together :3 loved you Meredith in the film Kate's Secret :3
I happen to be straight, but here's what my Mom taught me about being gay. She said,"If you are happy with yourself & so long as you don't harm or hurt anybody, what matters most if your own happiness. After all love is love."
Not only a BRAVE woman, but pretty damn classy! Gay or Straight.....YOU ARE STILL and ALWAYS will be A Personable woman, A Very Talented Actress, One Hell Of A Good Mother, and A Downright Classy Dame!
Guess this dumb bitch watched enough lesbian promotion and pornography in the media and decided to try it for herself since her natural straight self had many problems in relationships as most people do. All of you people who believe that this person is a lesbian are weak, conformists who'll believe anything the media puts in front of you. This is a straight woman living the new-age fantasy of lesbian chic. Enjoy!
1 im straight 2 I believe that being gay is something your born with. They cant help what it is they like. They just do. Kind of like how people cant help what race they are. They just are. And for the people who bring up the bible. Isn't Christianity meant to be a nice peaceful religion? If that's true, then why are people using it as a weapon against gay people? What matters is the personality. You wanna know why gays r scared to come out of the closet? its cuz of how evil some people can be.
@nathanlurie you're totally right, you come out of the womb that way. I don't see why anybody would put it upon themselves to be gay with the amount of hate and secrecy that needs to be. I'm a lesbian and have known since 2nd grade. I wish I was straight, because life would be easier, but i'm not. So heck, at least I can love!
WHO GIVES A FUCK. KEEP YOUR DIRTY LITTLE SECRET TO YOURSELF THERE IS NOTHING ADMIRABLE ABOUT LICKING SOMEONES PUSSY. I WISH ALL GAYS WOULD SHUT THE HELL UP. WHAT THEY DO IN THEIR OWN TIME SHOULD BE KEPT SECRET .ITS DISGUSTING.
And relatedly: Meredith Baxter tried to "lesbianize" me 4 years ago. I fought back. She put a "sleeper hold" on me. I passed out. When I awoke I was alone & afraid. "Merry," I cried. "Baxter," I whimpered. Where had she gone? "'Family Ties,' my ass!" I exclaimed.
@JENDALL714 That's one of the dumbest things I've read this week. That's saying a lot since I've been reading a lot of Michele Bachmann quotes this week. Congrats.
@kdolo100 i can understand what you mean when you say that. a true lesbian or not, the fact that someone is sexually attracted to the person of the same sex means they are homosexual, regardless of how long it lasts. But I get what you mean. And no offense taken, yes I'm a lesbian.
I also don't understand people's "need" to expose their sexual orientation. I'm actually not surprised at Ms. Baxter's 'disclosure' - but, she states she's a 'very private person' so - WHY 'the need to disclose' her sexual preferences?? I just don't get it....
Cool how far we've come that on a top-rated morning show aimed straight at Middle America they can work through this topic in such a relaxed way. Imagine how this would've jarred morning T.V. viewers in the eighties or even early (don't ask don't tell) nineties.
Not sure why this revalation is news worthy, especially from an actress , 20 yrs past her prime. I guess the need for women to be validated and acknowleged, never ends. Never understood the biological arguement to lesbianism. If that way true, at least a% of real lesbians would look like the porn star " lesbians"
This is so human. There is so much hate in this world... Glad that there are people in love. I don`t care who they are in love with. I hope you are fine and ....congratulations.
It's not that big of a deal to me, and it shouldn't be too any of you. What she does in her bedroom is HER business. Long live Family Ties (as I'm watching Season 2 on DVD at this very moment)
She's not a lesbian. She's bisexual. 3 husbands and 5 kids? When you've been on the receiving end of DICK for the majority of your life, you have no right to suddenly call yourself a lesbian. Sorry but it doesn't work that way.
Maybe if she had a few unpleasant sexual experiences with guys while she was still in her teens and then realized she like women, THAT'S a different story. But this woman looks like she's in her 50's. She's bisexual, not lesbian.
im straight, but i can understand that gay ppl want to tell ppl they're gay- everyday ppl talk about sex, their girlfriends/boyfriends, let gay ppl just b open and lets accept them. some of the nicest human beings happen to b gay, who cares about sexual orientation
@TT202020 Jesus the landscape expert or Jesus the leader of The mariachi band? So many Jesuses and so little time. Long as you're not talking about the shoddy ass, wannabe of a non-union carpenter in those ancient fairy-tales.
I hope she didn't feel that she HAD to tell the world this. If she wanted to, then I am all for it. I feel somehow that she felt cornered into a wall and she figured she had to come out. I support her. She's a wonderful woman - and I wish her all of the best. I don't care if she's gay or what. But I hope she didn't feel forced. But good for her....Be happy Meredith.

In 1995 the importation, into the United States, of bitter almond trees was banned. Bitter almonds (not the sweet almonds that the stores sell) are a rich source of Amygdalin (vitamin B17). Indeed the word Amygdalin comes fr. amygdaline: of, relating to, or resembling an almond. The citizens of the West are vitamin deficient and suffer from sub-clinical (borderline) scurvy, night blindness, beriberi and a host of other chronic metabolic (vitamin-deficiency) diseases.
What's the big deal with homosexuality? I think that the controversy around it was and is stupid! If you look back far enough in evolution you will see homosexuality and bisexuality everywhere, and for some reason no one had a problem with it, because they were happy! I support gay rights!
sorry not buying into these comments about someone being "bisexual".....no such thing, it's very black and white to me..you are either gay or heterosexual period....I hate the "bisexual" term....no such thing...maybe in the porn industry that makes billions per year
@mpdsmo Who the fuck are you to determine what other people feel?? Ignorant people which mean YOU I'd like to string them up!!! You don't believe some people could enjoy sex with both!
@starsfound you have Whitney HOUSTON on your page and you have the balls to question ME?! lighten the hell up, I do not believe a person can be "a little bit of both", tough shit your ignorant little brain cannot process such a comment! You either are gay or you are NOT!! Totally stand by exactly what I posted, so deal with it. You've got some MAJOR issues if you can't figure that equation out.
I am not and DID not judge anyone by my statement, Meredith included!
@mpdsmom What the hell does Whitney have to do with anything?? No I'm not gay and I'm not bi so therefore I can't say if someone likes sex with both sexes or say bi sexuality doesn't exist, how the hell do you know what other people feel. YOU DON'T!!!!
@starsfound "No I'm not gay and I'm not bi so therefore I can't say if someone likes sex with both sexes or say bi sexuality doesn't exist, how the hell do you know what other people feel." Summed up right there, ignorance is bliss as they say....why are you so hot under the collar if you ARE NOT gay or bi? Get over it already, it's my opinion and once again I totally and completely stand by it.
@mpdsmom There are millions of people that claim to be bi who the hell are you do deny them what they feel! Listen up miss prissy if I were bi or gay I' d come out and say it. And I'm here to tell you your opinion sucks!!
@mpdsmom u really are incorrect, before u make comments let me ask have u had relationships with both male and female? if not, u have no place to make a comment
@mpdsmom Ever hear of the Kinsey Scale or the studies done by Alfred Kinsey? Whether you believe it or not, it's quite common to be "a little bit of both". Even more so than being totally straight or totally homosexual. I know both gay and straight people that think bisexuality doesn't exist (I'm not bisexual, BTW) and it's just absurd. Of course it exists. Just because you happen to be one way or the other, you shouldn't try to pigeonhole everyone else so they fit into your little b&w world.
@phxflyguy Thank you for your comment. I am bisexual & I hate when people don't believe that bisexuality exists..."Oh, you're just dabbling/being pretentious/lying about who you are, and eventually you'll come around and realize you're straight/gay." There's prejudice all around. If a person is gay & comes out, they're usually believed & at least receive some deeply felt reaction from audiences, negative or positive. If a person comes out as bisexual, usually everyone just rolls their eyes.
@mpdsmom I just wanted to add that I don't think Meredith is bisexual. I'm sure that she's a lesbian just like she said she is. I think it just took her a long time to figure it out. It's a hard thing to come to realize sometimes.
@mpdsmom I am and have always been bisexual. I have had relationships with both men and women, and I feel sexual attraction to both. Just as you don't understand bisexuality, I don't understand being attracted to one sex only - but that doesn't mean that I don't believe people who are.
Please try to remember that we all have the capacity to be wrong, just as we all have the capacity to be kind and to learn that every person's experience is unique.
@arayalrio thank you for your thoughtful and intelligently written response. I am being given a lot of food for thought with the replies back to my post, but might I say I appreciate that you were respectful (not ready to flame me or be rude like others that have been posted here responding) while still getting your point across. Thank you for that and godspeed. It was only my opinion, but yet I am not you, or anyone else. Best to you..
@mpdsmom No problem. :) I just don't think people should restrict their social circles to those who believe exactly what they do; we never learn or progress without differences. My philosophy on friendship is essentially "if you'll be my friend, I'll be your friend." (I had moved 20 times by age 16 & was a lonely child.)
And it's an absolute truth that everyone deserves respect and the right to make up their own mind.
And lol, b/c my icy mother told us she wanted nothing more to do with us right when she stopped being able to conceal (from the outside world) her schizophrenia. Got no idea where she is now... Good times.
Uh, sorry for barfing something personal, everyone. YAY MATT FOR COMING OUT!!! ;)
Good for her! Glad she's finally living her life in an honest, genuine way that doesn't force her to lie or lie through omission every single day of her life. What a weight has been lifted!
If anyone has a problem with it, then seriously, forget them. It's her life and she's happy; I doubt she cares what youtube member ignoranttpurson#52 has to say.
You bet you are the same person as you were before, you will know be able to be yourself. And you won't have to remember who you've told you are a lesbian and who you haven't told. I've always liked you and nothing has changed, thank you.It's too bad people who aren't gay/lesbian themselves think they have the right to criticize and judge the lifestyle and people like you, I'm absolutely sure God approves.
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
SHE LOST HER LOOKS AND MEN WERE NOT SO INTERESTED ANYMORE... SO SHE TARGETED OTHER WOMEN LIKE HERSELF.... HER KIDS HAVE TO PRETEND IT DOSENT MATTER BUT OF COURSE KNOWING YOUR MOTHER IS A PERVE HAS GOT TO HURT LIKE HELL..... ANNOUNCING THIS TO THE WORLD HOWEVER WILL GIVE HER AN ADVANTAGE IN THE SHOW BUSINESS WORLD...... THEY ADORE & LOVE PERVERSION OF ANY KIND AND MAY EVEN GET HER A TV SHOW.
She's not gay. She may be bisexual, but she is certainly not gay. It's important to not muddy the waters where these terms are concerned. Gay people have enough to contend with, without confusing the issue.
I used to like her. It's hard to believe that all of a sudden at age 60 she finds out she is gay. Plain and simple she has bad marriages and she ran to a women to feel better. She is not gay! Just hurt and really confused. I feel bad for her because she will end up being punished in the afterlife for being a lesbian!
After three marriages and 5 kids, she has suddenly discovered at the age of 60 that she is gay. She claims she learned this late in life. Sorry, but I just ain't buying it. Every gay man I know knew as a small child that they were gay. They were attracted to members of the same sex when they were in grade 3. There are women who have been mistreated and abused by men and they turn to the nurturing touch of another woman. They aren't really gay; they are just looking for solace and comfort.
In this day and age I suppose it's ok to 'come out of the closet' because people are more understanding. Congrats to her for revealing something so private to the world. She played such a happy-go-lucky mum in FT.
Thank you, Meredith! Everyone needs to realize that we are real people with real lives and we deserve the same respect and equal treatment under the law.
If you believe that then you need to read the article “This is the Way God Made Me” A Scientific Examination of Homosexuality and the “Gay Gene” by Brad Harrub, Ph.D. and Bert Thompson, Ph.D. and Dave Miller, Ph.D.
@Blue72Red74 I read it, and it seems to be well supported. I have a question about this part: "If there was, in fact, a “gay gene,” then all of the identical twins should have reported a homosexual orientation. And yet, in nearly half of the twins studied, one brother was not homosexual." [It's under Problems with Bailey and Pillard’s Study] (the Question is in the second post)
@Blue72Red74 Let's say there is a gay gene for a second. According to an article from the NY times by Nicholas Wade entitled Explaining Differences in Twins, natural chemical modifications can occur in a person's genome shortly after conception and that act on a gene like a gas pedal or a brake, marking it for higher or lower activity. Could this explain why the gay gene did not appear to be passed on two both twins?
I woud've never suspected.But it seems that she would've this years earlier.Might have taken her many years to come to exceptance? May have suppressed it all this time? Perhaps her family background and up bringing was the reason if she did.Although she seemed uncomfortable talking about it,she seems to look somewhat relieved that she did maybe.Her lover I'm sure provide her with encouragement.
Oh come on. These feelings are too strong. She knew since she was a child. Any gay person will tell you that. Just becuase she ddn't have a lesbian relationship doens't mean she didn't know and feel for woman sexually
@busybuzzbuzz LMAO I know you're absolutely correct...she knew she had these feelings...she could never connect with men ever since she was young...she just said it in the clip...she clearly contradicted herself lol! XD
@gaylolful I disagree. Yeah, she knew that she couldn't connect with men, and that all her relationships ended up going wrong, but... that doesn't translate into "she knew it was because she was a lesbian". The mind truly can protect you against things you don't want to know/acknowledge in a way that means you don't realize it's happening. So, it is in no way unlikely that it came as a surpise to her when she realized that the reason she kept svrewing up relationships was her sexual orientation.
@sarah4hp LOL okay maybe you have a point but I agree with rodeocowgirlboots...she must have been afraid or she just didn't accept it so she hid it....like I seriously would never believe she woke up one day and decided anything...and it's hard to believe she just came to the realization...someone's lying haha XDXD
@gaylolful I don't think she's lying. I think she met a woman that she had so strong feelings for that she could no longer deny the reason why her relationships with men never worked out. I think she might have been surprised when she discovered it. So yeah, as I said, I don't think it's hard to believe that she had suppressed those feelings for so long without even realizing she was doing it.
@sarah4hp She said that she was attracted to men. . she probably just had bad luck with men but that doesnt mean shes a lesbian. Shes bisexual if anything. you dont just wake up one day and become gay. You might wake up and become bisexual and realize you like one sex over the other more. Thats like saying you no longer like chocolate after years of liking it. It just doesnt happen. I use to not like green beans but now i love em. But I still like everything else I liked before.
@PInk77W1 SHe was bisexual. She just didnt realize it. In fact, there is no such thing as gay or straight.. were all bisexual. Its just to what extent were bisexual and our attraction to each gender can sometimes change over time. I bet if you ask your niece she is still al least alittle bit attracted to women. It might not be as strong as it was in the past but its still there.
@destroyer8604 That's not like saying you don't like chocolate anymore after having liked it for years! It's like admitting that you've been living a lie and fooling yoursels first, and others as a result of that, because you couldn't face the truth. Seems like she accepted and acknowledged the truth when she was ready for what it would mean for her life.
And it's not like she doesn't like men anymore - she just realized why there was never a basis for a romantic relationship. Big diference.
@PInk77W1 So, in your world it's impossible to lie to yourself and try to be what you want to be - or more likely what you've been taught to believe you should be? When she's talking about not connecting with men, I think she is talking about romantically. It's all about the psysical attraction, and the desire for that physical connection that makes it difficult for her to connect romantially with a man. It apparently took a while for her to realize what was missing, and why it kept going wrong.
@PInk77W1 Then I don't get why you are questioning her lack of a connetion with men (her own words)? Having sex with her three husbands and becomming pregnant doesn't equal a connection - it equals sex. And you can have sex even if the physical desire isn't there as strongly as you would have liked. I think that is what happened, and obviously she does too. Her relationships, or her marriages, kept faling appart, and she couldn't understand why until she met her girlfriend - nothing more to it.
@sarah4hp i would think first u connect with someone then maybe kiss them. then maybe marry them. then maybe have sex with them.... u seem to think sex is the first thing in a relationship, i dont. Until she met her gf. So when or if she and her gf break up what will her excuse be then? if i dont know how to play a violin.... i cant learn by picking up another violin. i must learn by learning the rules of playing the violin
@PInk77W1 Of course the first thing you do is make that connection... or it should be. And that's great! But you can like someone, connect with someone, and even LOVE someone all you want... if the sexual desire isn't there you have nothing to build a romantic relationship on - you've just got a great a friendship. And as Meredith puts it she had a tendency to chose less than ideal partners where she knew it would go wrong, which would then be blamed on the man in stead of admitting the truth.
What her problem is is her children and grandchildren. Who wants to hear their mother or father talk about their sex life to people? Her grandchildren have to go to school and kids can be very mean. Now all their friends and the kids that are not their friends are going to know that their 63 year old grandmother likes sex with other women. I have grandchildren and I wouldn't talk about my sex life in front of them. You just don't do that.
@starsfound This whole thing is about her sex life. Now that she's opened up or whatever you call it what do you understand about what she just said? Do you understand? If you don't then go to the internet and type in homosexuality. The internet will explain it to you.
@hjb103055 It doesn't mean her kids and grand kids will run around saying "oh my mommy wants to have sex with women". How the hell do you know what their interpretations of her explanations to them are. How do you know that kids at school aren't accepting of it or have gay parents themselves. It is the year 2011 ya know. HOPEFULLY people they encounter aren't judgemental perverts like you apparently are.
Why do gay actors and actresses find it so important to share their personal business with the world? This is going to affect all the nice decent men she was ever involved in.
@hjb103055 Seriously? Any man that is going to think less of themselves because they were involved with a woman that is a lesbian has some serious insecurity issues. That also isn't her problem, nor should she have to stay in the closet. Straight actresses share their business with the world, so why is it so less acceptable for a lesbian?
Good on her for trumping that tabloid rag. Heads will roll over that! And well done Matt for handling the interview in such a sensitive way.

@kdolo100 i can understand what you mean when you say that. a true lesbian or not, the fact that someone is sexually attracted to the person of the same sex means they are homosexual, regardless of how long it lasts. But I get what you mean. And no offense taken, yes I'm a lesbian.

Not sure why this revalation is news worthy, especially from an actress , 20 yrs past her prime. I guess the need for women to be validated and acknowleged, never ends. Never understood the biological arguement to lesbianism. If that way true, at least a% of real lesbians would look like the porn star " lesbians"

She's not a lesbian. She's bisexual. 3 husbands and 5 kids? When you've been on the receiving end of DICK for the majority of your life, you have no right to suddenly call yourself a lesbian. Sorry but it doesn't work that way.
Maybe if she had a few unpleasant sexual experiences with guys while she was still in her teens and then realized she like women, THAT'S a different story. But this woman looks like she's in her 50's. She's bisexual, not lesbian.

In 1995 the importation, into the United States, of bitter almond trees was banned. Bitter almonds (not the sweet almonds that the stores sell) are a rich source of Amygdalin (vitamin B17). Indeed the word Amygdalin comes fr. amygdaline: of, relating to, or resembling an almond. The citizens of the West are vitamin deficient and suffer from sub-clinical (borderline) scurvy, night blindness, beriberi and a host of other chronic metabolic (vitamin-deficiency) diseases.

@mpdsmom Ever hear of the Kinsey Scale or the studies done by Alfred Kinsey? Whether you believe it or not, it's quite common to be "a little bit of both". Even more so than being totally straight or totally homosexual. I know both gay and straight people that think bisexuality doesn't exist (I'm not bisexual, BTW) and it's just absurd. Of course it exists. Just because you happen to be one way or the other, you shouldn't try to pigeonhole everyone else so they fit into your little b&w world.

@phxflyguy Thank you for your comment. I am bisexual & I hate when people don't believe that bisexuality exists..."Oh, you're just dabbling/being pretentious/lying about who you are, and eventually you'll come around and realize you're straight/gay." There's prejudice all around. If a person is gay & comes out, they're usually believed & at least receive some deeply felt reaction from audiences, negative or positive. If a person comes out as bisexual, usually everyone just rolls their eyes.

@mpdsmom I just wanted to add that I don't think Meredith is bisexual. I'm sure that she's a lesbian just like she said she is. I think it just took her a long time to figure it out. It's a hard thing to come to realize sometimes.

@mpdsmom I am and have always been bisexual. I have had relationships with both men and women, and I feel sexual attraction to both. Just as you don't understand bisexuality, I don't understand being attracted to one sex only - but that doesn't mean that I don't believe people who are.

After three marriages and 5 kids, she has suddenly discovered at the age of 60 that she is gay. She claims she learned this late in life. Sorry, but I just ain't buying it. Every gay man I know knew as a small child that they were gay. They were attracted to members of the same sex when they were in grade 3. There are women who have been mistreated and abused by men and they turn to the nurturing touch of another woman. They aren't really gay; they are just looking for solace and comfort.

@Blue72Red74 Let's say there is a gay gene for a second. According to an article from the NY times by Nicholas Wade entitled Explaining Differences in Twins, natural chemical modifications can occur in a person's genome shortly after conception and that act on a gene like a gas pedal or a brake, marking it for higher or lower activity. Could this explain why the gay gene did not appear to be passed on two both twins?

Yeah, she knew that she couldn't connect with men, and that all her relationships ended up going wrong, but... that doesn't translate into "she knew it was because she was a lesbian". The mind truly can protect you against things you don't want to know/acknowledge in a way that means you don't realize it's happening. So, it is in no way unlikely that it came as a surpise to her when she realized that the reason she kept svrewing up relationships was her sexual orientation.

PInk77W1 11 months ago
@PInk77W1 So, in your world it's impossible to lie to yourself and try to be what you want to be - or more likely what you've been taught to believe you should be? When she's talking about not connecting with men, I think she is talking about romantically. It's all about the psysical attraction, and the desire for that physical connection that makes it difficult for her to connect romantially with a man. It apparently took a while for her to realize what was missing, and why it kept going wrong.

@sarah4hp i never said she couldnt lie to herself.
PInk77W1 11 months ago
@PInk77W1 Then I don't get why you are questioning her lack of a connetion with men (her own words)? Having sex with her three husbands and becomming pregnant doesn't equal a connection - it equals sex. And you can have sex even if the physical desire isn't there as strongly as you would have liked. I think that is what happened, and obviously she does too. Her relationships, or her marriages, kept faling appart, and she couldn't understand why until she met her girlfriend - nothing more to it.
sarah4hp 11 months ago
@sarah4hp i would think first u connect with someone then maybe kiss them. then maybe marry them. then maybe have sex with them.... u seem to think sex is the first thing in a relationship, i dont.

PInk77W1 11 months ago
@PInk77W1 Of course the first thing you do is make that connection... or it should be. And that's great! But you can like someone, connect with someone, and even LOVE someone all you want... if the sexual desire isn't there you have nothing to build a romantic relationship on - you've just got a great a friendship. And as Meredith puts it she had a tendency to chose less than ideal partners where she knew it would go wrong, which would then be blamed on the man in stead of admitting the truth.
