Cynthia Nixon appeared today at City Hall in NY to lobby for more funds for schools as part of the “Our Kids Can’t Wait” campaign.

Nixon made headlines a year and a half ago when the news came out that she had left her husband for a female partner.

She is currently appearing in a Broadway play called “Rabbit Hole” about a couple “trying to cope with the loss of their son.” It is a tear-jerker that has received rave reviews.
