'Family Ties' Mom Meredith Baxter Joins Group of Later-in-Life Lesbians
A 'Family Ties' Mom Meredith Baxter Reveals She's a Lesbian - ABC News
woman changes from straight to gay after 3 marriages
"I am a lesbian and it was a later-in-life recognition," Baxter said on NBC's "Today" show. "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."
Baxter, 62 and thrice divorced, came out following the National Enquirer's November report that she was spotted "traveling with a female friend" on a Caribbean cruise sponsored by lesbian travel company Sweet.
That's exactly how I feel about it. And I think we are at a moment in time that is ripe for a crushing defeat to true bigotry on all fronts. Not only are gays not attacked like they used to be but we are a courted political and marketing force now. Our dollar and our votes are looked at as important. We have a black president in the white house and our society is struggling toward pluralism and cultural integration.
Forces of intolerance and groups that clearly lobby for inequality are only being funded by religious zealots and fundamental nutjobs who have shown themselves to be more interested in their agenda rather than the morality they claim drives the agenda. All over the country, groups like Focus on the Family, NARTH, and other family values organizations are losing all credibility as their leaders are exposing themselves, in the best cases, as fallible human beings and, in the worst cases, as fraudulent charlatans. The zealous devotion that holds them together is being frayed by realism and the acceptance that eventually they are going to lose anyway.
I don't think this fight is going to last another decade. Maybe 15 years at most and we will have full marriage for everyone in this country. I also believe in another 50 years most bigotry and intolerance will be thought of as being sooooo last century.
But I can be something of an optimist at times so take what I say with a grain of salt.
Changing to gay isn't the same as choosing to be gay.
She realized she was gay. She didn't sit down and say "you know, life is boring, I think I'll go gay." That's ridiculous.

Agreed Jall, but I hope it happens soon with the marriage thing. I'm not sure about bigotry though. Ignorant people will always be fearful of the "other."
Perhaps she's bisexual and doesn't quite know what to call it. Some people are attracted to both sexes.

You can of course document that claim, true?Homosexuality is a fetish. a kink.
You can of course document that claim, true?
You can actually document this phenomenon yourself. Ask people who engage in homosexual activity why they partake. It's my belief true enough, and one I've drawn from looking at both sides of the debate on what homosexuality is. So documentation, there is little, but inferences drawn there are a lot.
Sorry if my opinion is ****ty.
So it's your guess, that you stated as a fact. I am going to guess you are 100 % wrong.
Yeah after 3 marriages and a half dozens kids she found out she was gay.........:rofl
Well it makes sense and it lends itself to a lot less arguing about asinine **** that isn't proven one way or the other. But hey, thanks for the confidence.
No, it makes no sense. Let me ask you a question: when a gay person is not engaged in sex, do they stop being gay until the next time they have sex? See how ludicrous the kink/fetish argument is?
Well does a person that is into BDSM stop being into it when they're not having sex? No, they just don't have sex 24/7, that's all. homosexuality is a sexual thing. It doesn't define a person anymore than their favorite food.
I am not sure if that is true. It is quite possible to identify young children who are more likely to become gay. CC I think it was linked to a study showing male children who where more effeminate where more likely to grow up to be gay.
Hey look Navy, looking at her own words, she did not change, she finally recognized what she was..........Maybe, just maybe we have a bit of insight now as to why her 3 marriages failed......I am willing to bet she knows more about her situation than you........and she did not say she changed, but recognized..........this is a less than subtle difference..........
she figured it out at age 62, 3 marriage and 6 kids...............She sure as hell must have enjoyed her life as a straight woman.........:2wave:
Ok, and? Predicting if someone will enjoy homosexual activity is not an exact science, as I know plenty of effeminate guys who tear the poonani up, and plenty of masculine guys who love penis more than they love oxygen (the reason the study may not have shown this is because a lot of masculine gay men don't openly show it for a multitude of reasons, especially when they are younger or have reason to remain closeted.)
Why does 'homosexual' have to be associated with effeminacy? That's part of a societal stigma that has blurred the lines.

You are putting too much into something not so complicated.
At young ages, children have no sexual identity, and yet it is possible with some reliability to identify which are likely to become gay.
Being gay transcends the act of sex, sex is only the most outward aspect of it.
Well then, old people and people that cannot have children shouldn't be allowed to marry according to your archaic logic.
Sorry but the whole, marriage is for creating children is not a valid reason to exclude a couple from marriage.
How does old people not being able to procreate justify changing the existing definition of marriage?
That claim.
