Cynthia Nixon ‘Chooses’ To Be Gay

Cynthia Nixon is ruffling more than a few feathers in the LGBT community with her recent comments about her sexual preference.

The 45-year-old Sex and the City star, who is engaged to her longtime partner, Christine Marinoni, opened up to the New York Times about how she chooses to be gay — a viewpoint that goes against the grain of belief for many within the gay community.

“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,” she said. “I understand that for many people it’s not, but for me it’s a choice, and you don’t get to define my gayness for me. A certain section of our community is very concerned that it not be seen as a choice, because if it’s a choice, then we could opt out. I say it doesn’t matter if we flew here or we swam here, it matters that we are here and we are one group and let us stop trying to make a litmus test for who is considered gay and who is not.

Whoopi Goldberg ended her three-days-old feud with the New York Times Wednesday, as the fiercely opinionated host of The View apologized to the paper after declaring them guilty of "sloppy journalism" a few days back.

Whoopi Goldberg Again Says NY Times Guilty Of 'Sloppy Journalism

Here's how the whole fiasco played out:

Goldberg, on Monday's edition of The View, said she was upset by a Sunday article by critics Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott about the history of African Americans and the Oscars, thinking that her supporting actress Academy Award for 1990's Ghost had been overlooked.

She said she was "dismissed and erased by the New York Times critics who should know better," and implored the paper to "get your facts straight!"

Whoopi Goldberg got the first Oscar snub of the season -- for an award she won 20 years ago!

The View personality was infuriated by a Sunday New York Times article by critics Manohla Dargis and A.O. Scott, about the history of African Americans and the Oscars. The article completely omitted Goldberg’s best supporting actress Academy Award for 1990s' Ghost, as if it never existed.

"I have to tell you, it hurt me terribly," Whoopi groused. "When you win an Academy Award, that's part of your legacy ... and to be dismissed and erased by the New York Times critics who should know better ... this is not hidden information.
