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.”

Your statement sums it up well. I never thought about why the Peter Pan syndrome would be so appealing to any parent.
Wow, that is some significant insight to a mom wanting a gay son.
NOT!!!!
I loved my Mom and all, but if she was anything like this mentally challenged “person”, I would have rather lived on the street as a homeless bum and have nothing to do with her. By the grace of God, I had a normal mother who loved all of us (6 kids) and wasn’t a crazy liberal. I pity the young guy.
