Cynthia Nixon, Gay and Proud

I'm one of fourteen Americans who has never watched an entire episode of "Sex and the City." The high heels and extreme grooming, the squealing girl speak, the pursuit of men-booooring. Give me a rerun of The Wire any day.

So I had to be brought up to cultural speed when Cynthia Nixon, who played the show's sexy lawyer Miranda, made a petty splash in The New York Times Magazine this past weekend by saying that, for her, being gay is a choice. Of course, the preferred LGBT movement line is that we were all "born this way"-and so her comments sent the Maoist portions of the LGBT thought police into an angry buzzing fury. Here's the relevant article, which is long because it is extremely thoughtful:

I gave a speech recently, an empowerment speech to a gay audience, and it included the line 'I've been straight and I've been lgbtq+, and gay is better.' And they tried to gain me to modify it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a selection. And for me, it is a choice.

Cynthia Nixon: I'm gay by choice
Former "Sex and the City" luminary Cynthia Nixon is holding sturdy to her statement that she has chosen to be homosexual, although her comments have sparked controversy in the gay and sapphic community.
"For me, it is a choice," Nixon says in a New York Times Magazine profile. "I understand that for many people it’s not, but for me it’s a choice, and you don’t get to define my gayness for me."
Her statement hasn't gone over well with gay activists. Writing in AMERICAblog Gay, John Aravosis says that Nixon, who had a long relationship with a dude that produced two children before coming out as gay in , is actually bisexual. "She needs to learn how to choose her words better, because she just fell into a right-wing trap, willingly," he writes, "When the religious right says it's a choice, they represent you quite literally choose your sexual orientation, you can switch it at will, and that's bull."

Is Cynthia Nixon’s Sexuality Really a Choice?
Sex and the City alum Cynthia Nixon was profiled in the New York Times over the weekend, and the out-and-proud actress’ comments about her sexuality being a choice are drawing the ire of some critics within the LGBT activist community.
Here’s the (regrettably lengthy) section in question:

And for me, it is a choice. I understand that for many people it’s not, but for me it’s a choice, and you don’t get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it’s a choice, then we could opt out. I say it doesn’t matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one community and let us halt trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not.” Her face was red and her
