Cynthia Nixon on Granting Rights of Access NOT the Same as Redefining within the Gay Marriage Debate
by Brian David Phillips •
Whether your support her views or not (I do), Cynthia Nixon has some well turned phrases on the redefinition of marriage and of other rights that at one time were considered limited but which are now more broadly allowed.
