Cynthia Nixon engaged to longtime girlfriend

Categories: Current Affairs

During a rally for gay rights in New York City over the weekend, Sex and the City star Cynthia Nixon announced she is engaged to girlfriend Christine Marinoni, according to a report by E! News. At the rally, which was held to draw support for same-sex unions in New York state, Nixon revealed she became engaged last month. The couple has been together since late 2003. Nixon and her Sex and the City compatriots — Sarah Jessica Parker, Kim Cattrall, and Kristin Davis — are set to begin filming the sequel to the big-screen smash later this summer.

    You Go, Girl!

    Oh, fun. Hollywood now gets to choose between an open lesbian playing a heterosexual man seeker, or dumping her and having their hypocritical commercial based ethics exposed.

    What’s hypocritical? Actors are paid to act–not to live out their own lives. “Hollywood” doesn’t need to make any choices. This is a story about a personal relationship.

    The Overhauling of Straight America
    by Marshall K. Kirk & Erastes Pill
    The first order of business is desensitization of the American public concerning gays & gay rights…
    A large-scale media campaign will be required in order to change the image of gays in America.
    And any campaign to accomplish this turnaround should do six things.
    STEP 1: TALK ABOUT GAYS AND GAYNESS AS LOUDLY AND AS OFTEN AS POSSIBLE.
    The principle behind this advice is simple: almost any behavior begins to look normal if you are exposed to enough of it at close quarters and among your acquaintances.
    The way to benumb raw sensitivities about homosexuality…..
    The visual media… are plainly the most powerful image-makers in Western civilization… through which a Trojan horse might be passed…So far, gay Hollywood has provided our best covert weapon in the battle to desensitize the mainstream. Bit by bit over the past 10 years, gay characters & themes have been introduced into TV programs and films…

    KM – why are you concerned about this?
    Is it fear that Hollywood could “turn us all gay”? I’m pretty confident that won’t happen to me.
    Is it fear that we won’t have a constituency of the American public we can no longer make fun of, judge, and abuse? Why do we even need to spend energy doing that?
    What are you railing against?

    THE OVERHAULING OF REALITY
    by Chris Leeson
    The first order of business is to shove anything we disagree with under the rug. This includes taking anything we don’t like out of the popular media. And any campaign to accomplish this turnaround should do six things.
    STEP 1: COMPLAIN AND MOAN LOUDLY EVERYTIME SOMETHING YOU DISAGREE WITH APPEARS IN THE MEDIA. If you complain enough, people just might think that all those millions of gay people in the world don’t deserve their rights.

    In the photo, Nixon’s partner is dressed like a man. Could someone in the know educate me on why a woman would want to look like a man? Just asking.

  • DS3M

    Same Sex Unicorns?
    oh wait, I read that wrong

  • SerenaZ

    . . . and why would a woman who wants a woman want her to look like a man? Just curious.

  • strickens_girl

    Congratulations! I hope they have a happy, healthy life together.

    Yuck, she’s ugly. Cynthia definitely married DOWN.

  • Sherry

    Since when do looks have ANYTHING to do with a person’s character? Get over yourselves, people. Cynthia Nixon obviously knows how to choose people based on their hearts, not their looks. Good for her! I wish them both happiness.
    Serena: Maybe Christine wants to dress in far more comfortable clothes than Cynthia. Can you blame her? Bet you wear sweats and a hoodie when you leave the house, and try to be comfortable when you have to dress up…but you don’t have a camera crew following you. Christine obviously dresses the way she wants and doesn’t need to explain or justify herself to you or anyone. Get over it!

  • MC

    Oh man, her ex boyfriend must have done something awful to mess her up this bad.

  • Delbert

    Let’s guess who the man is in this one :)

  • Judy

    From the looks of some of these postings it looks like some people are a bit insecure about their own identity. Secure people don’t seem to worry too much about someone else’s love life if it differs from their own.

  • SerenaZ

    Sherry: Let me get this straight. People aren’t allowed to ask questions without inviting your insults? YOU need to get over whatever bug is up your ***. I don’t agree that a shirt and tie is necessarily “comfortable.” It was obviously a formal occasion and she chose to dress up like a man, yet she is a woman. My question is legit, and I invite any POLITE person to answer it–not you, Sherry. People are curious. Get over it.

    SerenaZ, Cynthia Nixon gave an interview to a NY newspaper about her girlfriend. She bought her a shirt one time and she did not like it. Cynthia mentioned her girlfriend does not wear women clothing at all. I guess it is a choice. It is a preference not because she is a lesbian though. My friend is straight and she hates dresses and anything girly. She actually got married i15 years ago in a gorgeous Armani cream pants suit and now has twin daughters. Personally, I think Christina looks more like a man than a woman BUT..I do wish them happiness

  • greg

    Good for them! I am so tired of hearing from the self-righteous about who/what/where/why we are/aren’t supposed to live our own lives. I chose to leave the christian church 35 years ago and I do not need those hypocrites telling me how to live my life. And I’m a straight southerner but I defend my gay friends. They hurt no others, unlike those who would pass judgement.

  • SerenaZ

    Mia, I appreciated the information. Thanks for reply.

  • JM

    Cynthia’s kids must be thrilled. If you’re going to switch sides, at least pick a better looking guy, er, gal.

  • BobParr

    Ewwwwwwwwww!!!!

  • Karli

    Congratulations to both of them! :D

  • femme

    Her girlfriend is a butch, and butches are HAWT. deal with it. (and yes I’m a femme w/ a butch partner myself).
    Mazel Tov to the fabulous couple!

  • dear femme

    There’s butch. Then there’s ugly. C’mon now.

  • femme

    ..in the eye of the beholder…
    she’s adorable. And all butches have their own charms.

  • Nick

    Her girlfriend is an UGLY RED HEADED MAN. At least pick a hot lipstick lesbian. Sickening. We know who wears the pants in this “relationship”.
