Sex And The City star Cynthia Nixon has revealed she plans to marry her longterm girlfriend Christine Marinoni.
The actress — who plays Miranda Hobbes in the hit HBO series and upcoming film — says she will tie the knot as soon as New York authorities recognize same-sex marriages.
She said, “If it becomes legal I think we would.
“It’s something my girlfriend is interested in and it was not something my boyfriend ever was.
“I think that to get married to her would be a little act of rebellion. It’s like if you’ve never had the vote and then you get it you’re going to run out there and vote.
“I always avoided marriage in the past and was always very wary of it. I felt like it was potentially a trap.
“People sometimes want the party, the gifts and the public celebration of this big love – they’re excited about that rather than about the lifetime commitment. So I always steered clear of it.”
Cynthia, 42, dumped Danny Mozes, her partner of 15-years — and the father of her two children — to be with Christine, and refused to publicly discuss her new romance until the fuss had died down.
She added: “I started dating my girlfriend in January 2004 and the press got wind of it around the September.
“There was a lot of attention and it was crazy. I said I was romantically involved with a woman, but I wasn’t going to talk about it until everybody calmed down.
“I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me that woke up or came out of the closet. There wasn’t a struggle or an attempt to suppress. I met this woman and I fell in love with her.
“In terms of my sexual orientation, I don’t really feel that I changed. I don’t feel any different than I did before. I don’t feel like there was some hidden part of myself that I wasn’t aware of.
“I had been with men all my life and I had never met a woman I had fallen in love with before. But when I did, it didn’t seem so strange. “I don’t define myself. I’m just a woman in love with another woman.”
Sex and the City: The Movie, is released on May 28 in the UK; and May 30 in the US.
