Cynthia NixonI am very annoyed about this issue. Why canโt it be a choice? Why is that any less legitimate? It seems weโre just ceding this point to bigots who are demanding it, and I donโt think that they should define the terms of the debate. I also feel like people think I was walking around in a cloud and didnโt realize I was gay, which I find really offensive. I find it offensive to me, but I also find it offensive to all the men Iโve been out with.
