I'm wondering if the mention of her wedding dress is relevant or in fact whether it might be offensive. I refer to: "...wearing a custom-made, pale green dress by Carolina Herrera". This seems very gossipy and not like an encyclopaedia at all. She's not the first person not to wear a white dress at a wedding, so what's the point of the information? To tell us that she, and not her partner was "the bride"? I take issue with it. If others agree, please remove. — Preceding unsigned comment added by 121.44.140.1 ( talk) 13:06, 24 April 2016 (UTC)
RE: Nixon's "lesbian" status. Though I'd be thrilled if it were true, until she confirms or denies, I believe the current section on that topic is most suitable. 64.134.251.82 04:31, 28 Sep 2004 (UTC)
shes lesbian but has a daughter. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Nicksinif ( talk • contribs) 04:26, 2005 June 11 (UTC)
Where can it be verified that she is a breast cancer survivor? I have not been able to independently confirm this; the only thing I have found is a direct interview where she discusses her mother's cancer. I can't find any mention of Cynthia having it herself - can someone help me out here, or post a working link? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Atlantic737 ( talk • contribs) 12:16, 2007 January 6 (UTC)
I thought she was Jewish. Is she Catholic on one side of her family or is this an error? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 69.136.92.119 ( talk) 00:12, 2007 February 18 (UTC)
peoples! her religion and sexual preferance are none of ur goddam beezwax! moms actual first movie was an industrial movie about how cells work, which she starred in because grandma was friends wtih the dude who made it. everything else is pretty much true. mom didn't "leave dad for another woman", she was single for a while before the relationship started. btw, shes a fantastic actress, and her acting life is really much more interesting than her personal life. seriously, guys. does it really matter if shes catholic or not?

Why is she listed with the name "Cynthia 'Roddy Doyle' Nixon" in the infobox? I assume this is vandalism and am changing it now. Geira ( talk) 07:57, 1 August 2008 (UTC)
The article mentions that she is a two-time Emmy winner in the introduction, but doesn't mention it anywhere else. I believe she won it as a guest on Law and Order SVU, but the information should definitely be added. Islandchild82 ( talk) 04:10, 11 March 2009 (UTC)
Would someone please clarify in the main article if she is or is not in any way related to the late President Nixon, or if she just happens to share the same last name.

Cynthia has said previously in interviews that she is queer as a "political stance" and sees her girlfriend as a "man with boobs". I don't even think she is bisexual because she doesn't seem to be attracted to women and her partner looks like a man. Every woman I've ever met who said they "chose to be" gay were in butch/femme relationships where heterosexual dynamics were very important. They often had issues with men, lack of trust, past sexual abuse, and were sexist towards men in general. Later on many of these women began dating men again.
IMO she probably should be removed from the LGBT category altogether. Cynthia is the perfect example of a straight woman falling in love with a lifestyle and a cause. These types of women are attracted to the whole struggle of homosexuality much more than they are attracted to other women. They often get involved in activism and feminism and love having the impression they're pissing off men and rebelling against patriarchy. I remember reading an interview she gave about a year ago where she was asked why she wanted to get married to her girlfriend and she replied "because it's rebellious" — Preceding unsigned comment added by Analog 9 ( talk • contribs) 06:25, 2012 March 17 (UTC)
Throughout Wikipedia, there are several misnomers regarding Nixon's characters name. The character is often referred to as 'Amanda Reese', when in actuality the name is 'Amanda Rollins'. I corrected a few spots, but there is a factually incorrect quote from TVline that is referenced and needs fixing. Quad4hill ( talk) 10:06, 14 February 2016 (UTC)
