Hollywood actress’ performative rant about son’s sexuality at LGBT gala fuels online backlash (Camryn Manheim)
Fox News via NY Post ^ | 9/29/26

A Hollywood actress used her platform on stage at a far-left Human Rights Campaign (HRC) event to performatively joke that despite her best efforts, her son turned out to be heterosexual.

Camryn Manheim, best known for her role as Ellenor Frutt in the late 1990s and early 2000s drama series “The Practice,” introduced and presented her friend and fellow actress Marcia Gay Harden with the Ally for Equality Award at the HRC’s National Dinner on Sunday.

“For Marcia, of course, this is deeply personal to her,” said Manheim of this year’s recipient of the prestigious award. “She has three remarkable children who all align with the LGBTQ+ community, which is another thing that deeply irritates me about her, because I always wanted a gay son.”

She then launched into a tirade about how her son is heterosexual.

“I love that relationship between gay sons and their mothers,” she said from the stage. “I wanted to be the picket sign-holding mom who would beat the s— out of somebody for her kid. I mean, let’s just admit it, gay sons are the best, right? Right!”

“I have photographs of my son in high heels, in full drag, he knows every word to every musical ever written, his fairy godfather, Aaron Walton, is here with us tonight. I mean, truly, I thought I had this f—ing thing locked up, but no, no, he’s the only straight guy in his entire musical theater company,” Manheim complained.

Manheim’s only child, Milo Manheim, 25, is an actor best known for his starring role as Zed in the Disney Channel film franchise “Zombies.” He played Joseph in the 2023 Christmas musical, “Journey to Bethlehem,” and in 2018 came in second place on season 27 of “Dancing with the Stars.”

“I want my son to do stuff that will give him AIDS, and prevent me from having grandchildren.”

The kid is the smart one - he’s the only straight guy in his entire musical theater company.

A handsome fox in the henhouse. Good on him!

Some parents do not believe in the idea of privacy or discretion when the topic is one of their children.
If she’s still like this now, with her son nearly grown, she is never going to change.

It’s so trendy to have a gender-deranged child, isn’t it Katelyn?

“and in 2018 came in second place on season 27 of ‘Dancing with the Stars.’”

Shades of “Marilyn Hotchkiss’ Ballroom Dancing & Charm School (2005)”!

A dude that can dance, and likes it! He’ll be turning the women away!

What she doesn’t realize is that she’s revealing that she wanted a child who would never truly grow up. Theater gays in particular don’t act like women, they act like 13 year old girls: catty, childish, and shallow. She wanted a son who would never love any woman but her, never have children, and never become a full adult... basically, a pet that can talk.
