Sex, The City and The Butch Loving

Sex In The City star Cynthia Nixon has started talking more openly to the press about her lesbian life. Now if she could just talk more openly about her love of the Butches....yummy!!

It’s funny, when I announced and said, “Yes I’m dating a woman,” it freaked people out a lot. I think people have a hard time separating us from our characters. So people were like, “Miranda is GAY!???” And there were all these crazy things I would read in the paper, like “…but Miranda kissed a girl and she didn’t like it. And Samantha’ s had a lesbian lover, shouldn’t she be the one?”

And another freaky thing was because our characters are seen as so iconic, it was also viewed as maybe like, “Hmmm, is this is a trend?” Like, maybe this is what happens to these women, who are out there and date a lot of men. Eventually they start dating women, that what happens. This is where Sex and the City takes you! Miranda dated too many men and, well, whatta you know?

“I’m in a fantastic relationship. It’s been about four years, I’m in love with [Christine] because she’s her. If she were a man, would I be in love with her? I don’t know. We shop and cook and raise children - we both pitch in.”…Nixon says her children adapted well to the new arrangement. “They were fine,” she says of the coming out. “My son was very little [when it happened], but my daughter has a gay uncle [and her godmothers] are lesbians.”
