As LRC’s semi-official lesbian celebrity correspondent, it’s my pleasure to bring you news of yet another baby-boomer icon declaring she’s finally and completely free of any lingering vestiges of penis envy:
That’s right. Meredith Baxter Birney, who most of us rember as the hot mom from “Family Ties” has announced that she’s gay, and not to be too cliche’ed and stereotypical about it, but her significant other, Nancy Locke, is a building contractor with a pick-up truck (just in case you were wondering who wears the pants in this family…).
In Hollywood, not only is 50 the new 40, but gay is the new straight. Everyone who is anyone has done a little switch hitting. If it isn’t an outright switch of team allegiance like Birney, Cynthia Nixon, or Kelly McGillis, it’s at least the occasional visit to the softer side like Fergie, Lady Ga Ga, Angela Jolie, Drew Barrymore, Lilly Allen, Lindsay Lohan, or (gasp) Megan Fox. It begins to make you wonder if all those Hollywood leading men are in some way lacking. I mean, who wouldn’t want a man’s man like Tom Cruise…or maybe that’s a bad example. I’m just sayin…
