Cynthia Nixon's comments that being gay was a personal choice for her rankled all manner of folk earlier this month. And now she's weathered the shitstorm Nixon has come out to clarify her position – even though she did a pretty good job of it the first time around – and say that, for her, being gay is a choice but her bisexuality is not. "While I don't often use the word, the technically precise term for my orientation is bisexual. I believe bisexuality is not a choice, it is a fact. What I have 'chosen' is to be in a gay relationship," she told The Advocate. "I do, however, believe that most members of our community - as well as the majority of heterosexuals - cannot and do not choose the gender of the persons with whom they seek to have intimate relationships because, unlike me, they are only attracted to one sex." Personally, as a card-carrying 'mo, I must say that I wasn't riled up to begin with; it's her sexuality, let her define it how she pleases. She also had a point when she said that the whole debate has been ceded to bigots and we shouldn't let them dictate how we choose to define ourselves. I expect to see your utterances of agreement and vicious personal attacks in the comments … Go! [The Advocate]

Fans of sociopathic monsters will be thrilled to learn that Jessica Lange is hinting that she was invited back to join the second season of American Horror Story. "I'm thinking about it," she said.

It may shock you to learn that some women are offended by the idea they're considered receptacles for the bodily waste of men. Women! Anyway, some of these feminazis have taken umbrage at the world-infamous mouth urinals at The Rolling Stones memorabilia museum in Germany and are asking that they be removed. Though the logo was originally inspired by Mick Jagger's lips, the protesters say these are different because they lack a tongue and are therefore just women's mouths. But the owner is calling tough titties: "They were damned expensive and they're staying where they are … That's final." [TMZ]
