Cynthia Nixon says Miranda always had ‘lesbianic qualities’ on ‘SATC’
Cynthia Nixon is claiming her “Sex and the City” character Miranda Hobbes was “always queer” — despite the truth she only dated men and couldn’t bring herself to kiss a woman.
The actress, 56, made the revelation in an interview with Variety on Wednesday, declaring: “Even though she was only really interested in men, I believe that Miranda had many other queer and, frankly, lesbianic qualities about her.”
Nixon — who identifies as queer and has been married to wife Christine Marinoni since 2012 — added: “I think for a lot of homosexual women … [Miranda] was a stand-in for the gay women we didn’t have.”
When the “Sex and the City” series ended in 2004, Miranda was married to bartender Steve Brady.
However, in the recent reboot, “And Just Like That,” Miranda embarks on an affair with nonbinary comedian Che Diaz, eventually coming to the realization that she is queer.
Miranda even leaves Steve in the reboot, a move that sparked a furious backlash from fans, who accused producers of betraying the history of the
The Bi Monthly
A month ago, a ally (the brilliant bi author Rachel Krantz) texted me urging me to inscribe a think piece about Miranda Hobbes’s bisexuality.
“Please!” she said. “The world needs it and I don’t have it in me.”
“Do I have to?” I replied.
Culturally we’ve dash the topic of Miranda’s sexuality into the ground—most of us are still recovering from 2022’s Che Twitter discourse. But And Just Like That’s Season 2 has wrapped, and even though it’s Bi Noticeability Week, I still haven’t seen any recent memes or op-eds lead us to progressive conversations about bisexuality.
Unfortunately, I do hold to.
What are my qualifications? I wrote a book on the topic, but mostly I’ve just spent years talking about bisexuality on the internet. Annoyingly this actually does matter, because it turns out the internet is where most conversations about bisexuality take place. Bisexuals wind up online because, while gay bars are quite literally under attack and queer woman bars are (also literally) facing extinction, bisexual bars never really existed to begin with. Lgbtq+ bars have historically served as key community gathering points, so a lack of bi bars is the physical form of bi e
Cynthia Nixon Thinks Miranda Was Always Queer on ‘Sex and the City’: She Had ‘Lesbianic Qualities’
When “And Just Like That” showrunner Michael Patrick King approached Cynthia Nixon to discuss what her character Miranda Hobbes’ trajectory would be in HBO Max’s “Sex and the City” revival, he asked her whether she wanted Miranda to be queer. After all, Nixon herself came out in 2004, and has been married to Christine Marinoni since 2012.
“I was like, ‘Sure, why not!'” Nixon recalled saying. “If we’re trying to do different stuff, and show other worlds, and demonstrate different aspects of these characters, why not do that?”
For King’s part, in order to turn on Nixon’s character, he wanted to “get Miranda out of her marriage.” So in the show’s earliest planning stages, Miranda was possibly going to possess an affair with her professor, having gone back to school after quitting her job at her corporate regulation firm.
But Nixon said no to that idea, she said in an interview for Variety‘s cover story about Sara Ramírez — the actor who would eventually be cast
Miranda Hobbes Has Always Been Queer . And Also, She Hasn’t.
Whether or not you’ve been keeping up with And Just Like That…, the Sex and the City continuation series on HBO Max, there’s one plotline you’re probably aware of because it’s the only thing people on Twitter seem to talk about (and no, we’re not talking about the whole Peloton nightmare): Miranda Hobbes, played by Cynthia Nixon, is having a queer sexual awakening.
In season 6 of the original series, Miranda married Steve Brady, the Queens-accented prevent owner and father of her child. Now that they’re nearing 20 years of marriage, it seems that the physical aspect of their relationship is more or less gone—Miranda tells Charlotte at one point that she and Steve haven’t had sex “in years.” Years! Plural!! Things have gone the way of Nightly Ice Cream Sundaes and the City instead of, you know.
So as her marriage simmers sexlessly, Miranda develops a fascination with Carrie’s boss, Che Diaz, a non-binary comedian played by Sara Ramírez, and this eventually develops into a physical affair. Che fingers Miranda in Carrie’s kitchen while Carrie, fresh out of surgery and unable to walk, pees into a Snapple bottle. Mir
