Democratic New York gubernatorial candidate Cynthia Nixon on Friday publicly announced that her son is transgender in a post congratulating him on graduating from the University
of Chicago.

“I’m so proud of my son Samuel Joseph Mozes (called Seph) who graduated college this month,” Nixon wrote. “I salute him and everyone else marking today’s #TransDayofAction.”

The post came on the same day as Trans Day of Action, an annual rally and march held in New York City. It is organized by the Audre Lorde Project, an organization for LGBTQ+ people
of color.

Samuel, who was born in 1996, is Nixon’s child with former partner Danny Mozes.Nixon is a longtime advocate for LGBTQ+ rights and a member of the LGBTQ+ community. She is
married to activist Christine Marinoni.

Nixon has faced public scrutiny over her sexuality. Last month, Former Speaker of the New York City Council Christine Quinn called her an “unqualified lesbian.” She later clarified she
was only referring to Nixon's experience.

I hope her kid approved of this beforehand. It'd be a pretty shit thing to do otherwise.

It's always good to get people in positions of power who actually know how being trans works and have personal stake in the issue, this seems good to me

Being outed to the entire city of new york would be a nightmare. I hope theyre ready and prepared for the onslaught of biggoted bullshit

This could boost for state's LBGTQ+ vote by 1-3% for her.

Where did you get those numbers from? Your ass?

I just assume for myself not from official polling statistics.
