#Is Cynthia Nixon’s Miranda Coming Out In And Just Like That…?

Regardless of the fact that Miranda is canonically married to a man and has a son with him, she has always read as queer. The woman was married in a velvet maroon suit, for crying out loud! Of course, adding queer reads to clothing in 2021 is ridiculous, but when we think about “Sex and the City” and its historically clunky attempts to tackle queerness, the stereotypically “queer” aspects of Miranda from 1998-2004 are so much more visible through a 2021 lens. 

Apologies to those who love her husband, Steve (he’s arguably the best of all of the SATC husbands, for what it’s worth), but if my gaydar is correct, Miranda is coming out in “And Just Like That…”

The first inclination is a moment in the trailer where a woman on a subway station touches Miranda’s arm (SANS WEDDING RING!!!) with a glowing smile. Miranda’s face looks pleasantly surprised at the touch, and the backpack of the woman touching her arm? Big ol’ rainbow patch. 

Sure, this could be an innocent moment between two friends, but with Carrie’s narration of “life is full of surprises,” it’s hard not to see this moment as Miranda realizing something within herself. Later on in the trailer, there’s a shot of Miranda and the mysterious subway woman (Dr. Nya Wallace played by Karen Pittman) walking in Central Park with coffee in entirely different clothing, letting us know these two met up again after this train interaction … is this gals being pals or something deeper?
