Cynthia Nixon's lesbian letdown

Cynthia Nixon says coming out as a lesbian was an anti climax.The 'Sex and the City' star left her male partner Danny Mozes and their two children, nine-year-old Samantha and Charles, three, after falling in love with Christine Marinoni two years ago.She explained to New York magazine: "I never felt like there was an unconscious part of me that woke up or that came out of the closet. There wasn't a struggle, there wasn't an attempt to suppress. "I met this woman, I fell in love with her and I'm a public figure."However, Cynthia, 40, was surprised by how much attention her lifestyle choice received.She revealed: "I feel like there was an enormous temperature spike. There were paparazzi outside my house. My girlfriend had the English press on her parents' lawn. Every person she went to high school with got a phone call. They almost put me on the cover of People magazine. And then it died, because there wasn't really anything to say." Cynthia mused: "I can't remember in what context they tell people this, but if someone is chasing you, stop running. And then they'll stop chasing you."
