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.
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.
