Lesbian actress Cynthia Nixon kept her breast cancer secret for over two years, but now the red-headed beauty's speaking out to raise awareness. Here she is chatting about her mother's battle and her own. No, it's not glamorous or gossipy, but it's awesome – like everything Nixon does.
Nixon also opened up about how her diagnosis affected her lady love, Christine Marinoni:
Talking openly about a relationship she had refused to discuss, she said: "My girlfriend was the one doing the eating. She was in a panic – and just trying to calm herself down any way she could." She also revealed her children, who know about the illness, now call both of them "mum", adding "they love her".
Aww, that's enough to make us want kids. Or a lesbian girlfriend. Toss-up…

Thank you, Ms. Nixon for being out with cancer. We in the LGBT cancer survivor community have only one place where we go for support, at http://www.outwithcancer.org so it is terrific to see you strong and surviving and living!

Comment #2 is totally wrong. There are many incredible places in this country for lesbians with breast cancer to get support. In New York alone, there are lesbian support groups at the Lesbian Cancer Initiative (http://www.gaycenter.org/health/lci) and the Long Island Lesbian Cancer Initiative (www.lilci.org). A complete list can be found on the website of the National LGBT Cancer Network (www.cancer-network).
All of these organizations are founded and run by lesbians. Perhaps the writer of comment #2 doesn't know about these services is that his org is run by a straight man.
