The article says “extraverted” — when it means “extroverted” when referring to mothers of homosexual men. I’m not sure extraverted is a word.

Thank you for the correction - I always appreciate when somebody tries to help me sound smarter than I am (and I need the help).

Here, the word extraverted is actually in the text from the original source, where I think it is being used as a technical psychological term. I guess Carl Jung used it in that form to describe a quality of personality, and it stuck among specialists. You know you’re big when people start purposely misspelling stuff to be more like you.

Thanks again though. When you write, you find out just how difficult it is to be precise. Any help is much appreciated.
