Actress and activist Cynthia Nixon recorded a spot to support Fight Back New York, the new political action committee targeting former New York state Senator Hiram Monserrate and others who voted against marriage equality.
The "Sex and the City" actress says in part: "I am a lifelong New Yorker but I don't have the rights that most of my friends and neighbors do. I'm engaged to the woman I love, but on December 2, the New York State Senate voted against my right to marry her. Last year prior to the vote, so many of us went up to Albany to speak with our state senators about why marriage equality is so important to us and to our families. They didn't get the message. They still think that it's okay to treat me and hundreds of thousands of New Yorkers like second-class citizens. I'm not okay with that."

A lot of celebrities would be afraid to be so political about this issue, even if they are lgbt. I'm glad she's not afriad.

Would rather see a Black face, honestly. Suport it suport, though.

I would like to see a black face too making such a statement but we are either too busy hiding in the closet or convincing ourselves that marriage equality is an elitist white gay agenda that is irrelevant to other concerns that impact black gay people both straight and gay.
