Cynthia Nixon is kind of our favorite lesbian right now. We like her because she’s pretty, she’s down-to-earth, and she’s smart. She sends her kids to a public school in New York City, she’s about to open in The Prime of Miss Jean Brody Off Broadway, and she’s the most sensible lesbian on earth.
In the current New York Magazine, Nixon gives an interview in which she describes her coming out:
"I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me that woke up or that came out of the closet. There wasn't a struggle, there wasn't an attempt to suppress. I met this woman, I fell in love with her and I'm a public figure."
So how did she deal with all the press coverage when she left her long-term male partner and father of her two children for her new female lover, Christine Marinoni?
“I was on the front page of two daily papers, there was paparazzi outside my house … They almost put me on the cover of People magazine. And then it died. Because there wasn’t really anything to say. I can’t remember in what context they tell people this, but if someone is chasing you, stop running. And then they’ll stop chasing you.”
If only we’d thought of that in junior high.
