The one post on the Toast with the Cynthia Nixon quote. Actually Cynthia Nixon recently made a statement saying that she’s actually bi. She basically said that she didn’t know what the word was until someone explained it to her. She said, “oh I’m actually bi, that’s what I’ve always meant, sorry I didn’t mean to use the word ‘gay'”. She didn’t exactly say it like that, but that was definitely the general gist of it. And maybe SOME men and women “choose” to be gay for whatever reason, but for most people, obviously not.
