Re: I'm just going to put this here...

I really don't think that homosexuals having children is what tweaks Conservatives' sensibilities. First off, as we should all have figured out by now, it's not the guys actually having children. And I really don't think there's much difference at all when a baby comes out of a heterosexual woman's ...

I was going to say, "pay to see the SMURFS movie," but there are none coming out at that time.
