Sex & The City’s Cynthia Nixon Says Miranda Always Had Lesbian Qualities

Nixon references the more subtle ways that Miranda’s queer identity may be hinted at in the original Sex and the City. As Nixon suggests, showing open and happy same-sex relationships in film and TV was not common in the 1990s and early 2000s. Because of this, it may have been very difficult for a popular — albeit in many ways revolutionary — show like Sex and the City to explicitly portray queerness in its main characters. Showrunner King never directly states that a queer relationship was always on the cards for Miranda, but Nixon says she was not surprised that Miranda’s And Just Like That storyline saw her beginning a relationship with Che.

Sex & the City was a landmark show in its celebratory portrayal of female sexuality. It famously normalized open discussions of sex and relationships, though this was largely centered on heterosexuality. However, And Just Like That provides another opportunity to explore the complexities of the hit original show’s central characters, and increase representation for LGBTQ+ actors and characters. If Che returns in season 2, the show will likely continue to explore this facet of Miranda’s identity, which will be informed by Nixon’s own in-depth knowledge of her beloved character.
