Cynthia Nixon Made Her Coming Out Boring...

Emmy and Tony award winning actress Cynthia Nixon, beloved for her six seasons on "Sex in the City" as the deliciously witty Miranda, finally talks a bit in detail in New York magazine about falling in love with a woman. She didn't do the Ellen or Lance Bass thing with magazine covers announcing it etc. It's not like the media didn't try, but Nixon is just the low-key type.

"I feel: I feel like there was an enormous temperature spike, where I was on the front page of two daily papers, there was paparazzi outside my house. My girlfriend (Christine) had English press on her parents’ lawn. Every person she went to high school with got a phone call. They bought her yearbook. They almost put me on the cover of People magazine. And then it died. Because there wasn’t really anything to say. I can’t remember in what context they tell people this, but if someone is chasing you, stop running. And then they’ll stop chasing you.�

The magzine notes that Nixon has done something "perversely radical: She’s made her own coming-out story boring."

"I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me around that woke up or that came out of the closet; there wasn’t a struggle, there wasn’t an attempt to suppress. I met this woman, I fell in love with her, and I’m a public figure.�
Nixon told the magazine that someday, she says, she needs to sit down with Christine and watch a marathon of "Sex and the City," which her girlfriend has barely seen.
