Cynthia Nixon said I'm just a woman in love with another woman, She recently caused controversy among the gay community when she told The New York Times that homosexuality was a personal choice for her.
But now, Cynthia Nixon has sought to clarify her comments further in a statement to The Advocate, telling them that bisexuality is not a choice, but her decision to be in a homosexual relationship is.
The Sex and the City actress has been in a relationship with education activist Christine Marinoni since 2004, and the couple had a baby son together last year.
She said today: 'My recent comments in The New York Times were about me and my personal story of being gay.
'I believe we all have different ways we came to the gay community and we can't and shouldn't be pigeon-holed into one cultural narrative which can be uninclusive and disempowering,' she said.
'However, to the extent that anyone wishes to interpret my words in a strictly legal context I would like to clarify: 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.'Cynthia's interview with the newspaper caused controversy last month when she told the newspaper: '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.'
