Overview
Jane knew she was a lesbian from an early age but didn't tell her mum and dad until she was older.
In an interview on last night's US chat show Chelsea Lately, Lynch, who is now happily married to psychologist Lara Embry, said: 'I was living the gay lifestyle before [coming out to them]. I was distanced from my parents. And I felt very, very separate from them.
'So I wrote them a letter pouring my heart out. But you're given a stamp and an envelope after you write it!'
But Jane had nothing to worry about as she says her parents were very accepting.
The 51-year-old added: 'This was 12 years later from when I was 18. Their reaction might have been different if I was 18. They had heard of gay people at this point. They were great. They really embraced me.'
