NEW YORK CITY - Cynthia Nixon has announced her plans to wed girlfriend Christine Marinoni. The actress was out rallying for gay rights at the time she broke the news.
Nixon was taking part in the Love, Peace and Marriage Equality rally in New York City when she shared her big news. Nixon and Marinoni became engaged last month. The couple is currently hard at work promoting the new gay rights bill proposed by Governor David Paterson. The bill hopes to achieve equality for same sex unions.
Nixon and Marinoni have been together since 2003. Their relationship came as something of a shock as Nixon had previously been involved with a man, Danny Mozes, with whom she has two children, Samantha, 14, and Charles, 7. Back in 2004, when the news broke that Marinoni and Cynthia Nixon were involved, Nixon told the Daily News, "My private life is private. But at the same time, I have nothing to hide. So what I will say is that I am very happy."
Who would have thought that out of all the women on "Sex and the City," Cynthia Nixon would be the only cast member whose real sex life was more confusing and interesting than her character's? We would have thought that it would have been Kim Cattrall for sure. (Wait, you mean actors and actresses aren't just like the people they play on television? Weird.)
In June, Nixon told the Daily News that she and Marinoni hoped to marry one day but only when gay marriage became legal in New York. At the time, Nixon said, "In an ideal world, we'd like to in New York, when it becomes legalized. Hopefully, it won't take 20 years."
Cynthia Nixon has previously praised Brad Pitt for the donations he gave to support the legalization of gay marriage. Nixon has said, "I think it's great. I think the way Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie always give their money, and the things they give it to, and the enormous amounts they give of it is just incredibly commendable. I think they inspire other people to give as well."
