Cynthia Nixon announces her child has come out as transgender

Cynthia Nixon has revealed that her eldest child has come out as transgender.

Cynthia’s 21-year-old son, formerly known as Samantha, now goes by the name Samuel after his transition.

The Sex and the City actress posted a photo to her Instagram to celebrate Samuel’s graduation from The University of Chicago.

The 52-year-old captioned the photo, “I’m so proud of my son Samuel Joseph Mozes (called Seph) who graduated college this month. I salute him and everyone else marking today’s #TransDayofAction. #TDOA.”

Cynthia also has a 15-year-old son, Charles, with her ex-husband, Danny Mozes – and a seven-year-old daughter with her wife, Christine Marinoni.

Cynthia, who is an avid LGBTQ+ supporter, took part in the New York City Pride march yesterday.

The mother-of-three is currently running for Governor of NYC, and if elected will become the first openly gay governor of New York.

In 2010, I helped set up Fight Back New York, an effort to defeat New York State Senators who were opposed to same-sex marriage. The campaign ultimately raised $800,000 and helped elect three new senators who voted to pass marriage equality. Soon after, I married my wife Christine. And today, I am fighting to become the first queer governor of New York. #pride
