Former City Council Speaker Christine Quinn doubled down on labeling actress and wannabe-governor Cynthia Nixon an “unqualified lesbian” Tuesday — tweeting that it was simply a comparison to herself as a “qualified lesbian.”

“Cynthia Nixon aggressively opposed my candidacy in New York despite my qualifications for the office and despite my strong progressive credentials. I was attempting to make a comparison between the two of us,” tweeted Quinn in reference to Nixon endorsing Bill de Blasio in the 2013 Democratic primary for mayor.

“The real point I am trying to make is that qualifications matter and records matter. I do not believe she has the qualifications or the record.”

“To be clear, Cynthia Nixon’s identity has no bearing on her candidacy and it was not my intention to suggest it did. I want to be clear about that. I would never, EVER, criticize someone because of their identity,” the openly gay supporter of Gov. Andrew Cuomo added.

Quinn made the remarks to The Post after the “Sex and the City” star announced her candidacy for governor Monday.

“Cynthia Nixon was opposed to having a qualified lesbian become mayor of New York City. Now she wants an unqualified lesbian to be the governor of New York. You have to be qualified and have experience. She isn’t qualified to be the governor,” Quinn said.
