@imdeelightful It is precisely because some people think like you, that the gay community is reacting so strongly to what Cynthia said! There are really people out there who think being homosexual is something you can someday just snap out of. This causes a lot of frustration and hatred towards gays. Then again, I don't think anything that Cynthia Nixon says will ever change the misconceptions of people. She's not responsible for them.

What is the big deal? I would think it would be a good thing for those kids who think they are gay and than realize they are not. I have known many people who live a gay life stay and are so miserable. I wonder if they could change their life stay it would be better for them. I am behind Ms. Nixon 100% for saying what she said. I think it may help some kids and grown ups.

My teenage son is gay. What @Dale is saying is true. That is, unless you are a teenager. The teenage years are similiar for most people, makeup, breakup, tears.... My son is "out" but has decided to wait for a relationship. This does not stop the pure hatred (sp) from people who don't even know him. I have brought him up to respect other peoples difference, but not necessarily agree. I understand some find it a choice, others were born that way. All people do not agree on issues. It is how we handle our differences that set us apart.

I agree 100% with what abc and TexasTexasTexas said - We all need to stop referring to people as gay or straight or bisexual..who cares ?? it should be a mute point anyway .. we need to treat each other as individuals regardless of who we are attracted to sexually. I don't introduce my friends as.. 'This is my gay friend Rob or this is my straight Dennis' .. I say 'This is my friend Rob,this is my friend Dennis' and we should all be entitled to marry who we want, because we LOVE them.

Cynthia spoke for herself and nobody else. It's HER truth. Cat and others should stop trying to bully others into saying what THEY want them to say. You speak your truth and allow others to do the same. Nobody should need your approval. Cynthia has been a relentless advocate for gay rights and I admire/appreciate her honesty. Read what she said in it's entirety. I was very impressed with what she said.
