I read the article and I could help but get the feeling that she is just into this because it is new and exciting to her. If you listen to most people that are gay, you rarely hear that the thought never occurred to them.

Although I feel it's good she's happier now in sharing her life with someone who helps foster emotional and personal strength, I have to agree with Vincenzo that this is one of those cases where she is "gay by misadventure".

I believe the vast majority of people are genetically programmed to be gay, but I myself have an aunt who had similar experiences and is "now gay" and in a long-term relationship, but she has a number of issues and outside influences and hardships that I feel lead to this for her, though she said in her mid twenties that she had ... I don't know, inclinations I guess - but even then, these same influences existed so I lean toward "environment" rather than genetics on this one. I have another aunt who actually has written a series of Christian children's books, and is also gay and has been for as long as I've known her (though I didn't know it til last year when my other above-mentioned aunt mentioned it), and has also been in a committed relationship all this time as well - I don't know either way but I'm not aware of any known personal problems in her past so I think hers may be genetic disposition.

I liked Family Ties and still get wistful about it - but I have to admit she was easily my least favorite character; just something about her face, she always seemed cold and unexpressive and no sense of humor, always serious. I liked Nick better if you can believe it.

Well I am not buying it. After listening to her interview yesterday on the news I think she is just acting a part to make her hip and news worthy again.

But she is 62 years old! What can she possibly get at this age? Certainly NOT a leading role.

That I do not know. Maybe she just wanted to have a moment in fame again? It just seemed to me that she was not telling the truth or she was not genuine in her convictions.
