To be honest, I find the idea of gays spawning repulsive. It goes against nature. The thought of gay people thrashing in shallow water, laying their eggs and spilling sperm all over the place, positively turns my stomach. (This prospect is equally appalling with straight people. Spawning is best left to fish.) ---

I certainly strenuously object to [these guys](http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-1291890/Gay-fathers-Barrie-Tony-Drewitt-Barlow-celebrate-arrival-twins-triple-christening-ceremony.html) spawning. I mean, I don’t care that they’re gay but naming your kids Aspen and Saffron is beyond the pale. ---

I don’t care if they spawn. Just let me know where so I don’t swim there. ---
