Alex P. Keaton was all about Reagan and capitalism and hating liberals, so it will probably come as quite a blow to learn that his mom is a gay lady. If he wasn’t a fictional character, I mean. But it’s true, Meredith Baxter, who played free spirited TV mom Elyse Keaton on Family Ties, has come out as a lesbian. You go, girl. She appeared on the Today show this morning and announced (via PopEater):
“I want to say I’m 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.”
Mere and her dame been together for seven years
And I bet they’ll be together for seven more
Oh it’s like she stopped breeding on the night they kissed
And she can’t remember why she ever did men before
What would she do, baby? Without puss?
Sha la la lez.
