She was always my favorite one. It’s true. I always thought she was the best actor of the bunch. Plus, she brought us Steve – and Steve was a hot piece of ass. Cynthia Nixon, pictured above with her fiance, came out as a lesbian in 2004. She recently told the New York Times (via the Huffington Post) that her current sexual identity of gay was a choice. I know we don’t talk much about gay women on Manhunt Daily, and some of you already scrolled up because the only dick that could be involved in this situation has straps, but check out what she said:
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 gay, and gay is better.’ And they tried to get me to change it, because they said it implies that homosexuality can be a choice. 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 group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not.”
And then I got to thinking (and this was not easy for me, cuz’ I am one vapid hoe) about this matter. Personally, I believe I was born this way. And that’s the argument we mainly use against the ‘phobes – that it’s our nature. Many of us believe that being gay is as determined for us as heterosexuality is for straight people, and we ask (most famously) who would CHOOSE to be persecuted, killed, treated like a second-class citizen, etc.? She’s asking why is it a bad thing that someone chooses to be with the same sex? What’s the big deal if you want to be with someone whose genitalia matches your own? I totally see her point, and it made me ponder, but is her statement sort of dismantling one of the tenets of our struggle for equal rights? I know “struggle for equal rights” is drama momma, but you know what I’m saying!
I’m dying to know, what do YOU think?

p.s. This IS Manhunt and I should state that I think her ladyfriend is kinda hot.
