Thank you Meredith Baxter & welcome to the world of being out

TV mom Meredith Baxter just went on The Today Show with one goal: To out herself. You gotta love a woman with courage. "If you knew me before and cared about me before," she said, "I'm the same woman now."

The video is worth watching. She sounded a little nervous, but all I can say to her is "Thank You." Matt Lauer also deserves kudos for formulating "the most important question" as "are you happy?"
