Miranda is gay
The Bi Monthly
A month ago, a friend (the brilliant bi author Rachel Krantz) texted me urging me to write a believe piece about Miranda Hobbes’s bisexuality.
“Please!” she said. “The world needs it and I don’t have it in me.”
“Do I contain to?” I replied.
Culturally we’ve run the topic of Miranda’s sexuality into the ground—most of us are still recovering from ’s Che Twitter discourse. But And Just Like That’s Season 2 has wrapped, and even though it’s Bi Visibility Week, I still haven’t seen any recent memes or op-eds lead us to steady conversations about bisexuality.
Unfortunately, I do have to.
What are my qualifications? I wrote a book on the topic, but mostly I’ve just spent years talking about bisexuality on the internet. Annoyingly this actually does matter, because it turns out the internet is where most conversations about bisexuality grab place. Bisexuals wind up online because, while lgbtq+ bars are quite literally under attack and female homosexual bars are (also literally) facing extinction, bisexual bars never really existed to begin with. Queer bars have historically
Miranda Hobbes Has Always Been Gay. And Also, She Hasn’t.
Whether or not you’ve been keeping up with And Just Like That…, the Sex and the City continuation series on HBO Max, there’s one plotline you’re probably notified of because it’s the only thing people on Twitter seem to chat about (and no, we’re not talking about the whole Peloton nightmare): Miranda Hobbes, played by Cynthia Nixon, is having a gay sexual awakening.
In season 6 of the original series, Miranda married Steve Brady, the Queens-accented bar owner and father of her child. Now that they’re nearing 20 years of marriage, it seems that the physical aspect of their partnership is more or less gone—Miranda tells Charlotte at one point that she and Steve haven’t had sex “in years.” Years! Plural!! Things have gone the way of Nightly Ice Cream Sundaes and the City instead of, you know.
So as her marriage simmers sexlessly, Miranda develops a fascination with Carrie’s boss, Che Diaz, a neutrois comedian played by Sara Ramírez, and this eventually develops into a physical affair. Che fingers Miranda in Vehicle
Sexuality is a large part of the human experience, for this reason we shouldn't have puritanical jerks calling the shots. I want more equality and representation in videogames and If you want more equality too, you shouldn't be working on removing content that appeals to the male gaze, you should be adding content that would appeal to the female gaze, more gratuitous shots of the male romance options for women and gay men. Wouldn't that be fitting of a "Legendary Edition"?
Another thing you forget, Bioware, is that the things that appeal to the male gaze tend to appeal to the lesbian gaze as well, so by removing Miranda's iconic shots. You are also being homophobic. The gaming industry is so busy entertaining their newfound contempt for the direct male that they forgot that gay women also love gratuitous shots of hot women.
You know what else is excellent for stopping the male gaze? A long black cloth over all women, which i
