FROM THE ADVOCATE
By Julie Bolcer
Actor Rupert Everett trashed the idea of gay men wanting to father their own children, charging that surrogacy is the outgrowth of a “tiresome” gay rights movement populated by “awful middle-class queens.”
"I think this surrogacy thing is crap,” Everett, 49, told the Daily Beast web site. “It is utterly hideous. I think it's egocentric and vain.”
The openly gay star of films including My Best Friend’s Wedding and Shrek the Third extended his attack to lesbians.
“I mean, if you are meant to have babies then great,” he said. “But this whole idea of two gay guys filling a cocktail shaker with their sperm and impregnating some grim lesbian and then it gets cut out is just really weird.”
Everett, who said he would adopt or foster if he wanted to parent, positioned his harsh comments as a defense against the mainstreaming of gay culture.
”It's all Abercrombie & Fitch and strollers,” scoffed the outlaw Everett, who reportedly earned £1m alone from a publishers' advance for his memoirs in 2005.

ok rupert...i read your memoir and it was full of arrogance, trash, and bitchiness!
you do not need to be speaking on this topic and i personally do not want you as an advocate for gay rights if this is what you are going to say about gay fatherhood.
if 2 people want to have a child and the only way they have to make a biological baby is to go through insemination then so be it! it is their choice and their decision on how they want to live their lives as parents.
butt out of it rupert...please
