Cynthia Nixon clears up "gay is a choice" statement
After weeks of heated discussion in the LGBT community following Cynthia Nixon’s comment that she chooses to be gay, the actress has released a statement clarifying what she meant to say in the original interview. Read the whole statement at the Advocate article above, but here’s the most telling part:
“While I don’t often use the word, the technically precise term for my orientation is bisexual. I believe bisexuality is not a choice, it is a fact. What I have ‘chosen’ is to be in a gay relationship.
“As I said in the Times and will say again here, I do, however, believe that most members of our community — as well as the majority of heterosexuals — cannot and do not choose the gender of the persons with whom they seek to have intimate relationships because, unlike me, they are only attracted to one sex.That’s that. What’s great is how she inadvertently started a nationwide conversation on how we arrive at our sexualities, particularly the unspoken hierarchy of “born this way” vs. “chose this way.” Glad to have some closure with this one, though.
