Rupert Everett has launched a scathing attack on gay men who father children - branding them "egocentric and vain".
The openly gay actor slammed surrogacy for homosexual couples as "utterly horrendous" - and poured scorn on gay marriages.
And he rounded on the "tiresome" gay movement, insisting it is populated by "middle-class queens".
The My Best Friend's Wedding star told the Daily Beast website: "I think this surrogacy thing is crap. It is utterly hideous. I think it's egocentric and vain.
"And these endless IVF treatments people go through. I mean, if you are meant to have babies then great. 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.
"If I did have the impulse to be a parent, I would adopt - or foster. But this whole thing of forcing the idea of parenthood on us gay men is so bogus. Marriage? Babies? Please. I want to be illegal. I want to live outside the mainstream."
He added: "Or am I slightly ahead of the curve? It has to change. These awful middle-class queens - which is what the gay movement has become - are so tiresome. It's all Abercrombie & Fitch and strollers. Everybody has the right to do what they want to do, but still..."
It's not the first time the actor has expressed strong views.
In June last year he was forced to apologise after branding British soldiers "whining wimps".
His unfortunate remarks came the day before the death toll of troops killed in Afghanistan reached 100 after three British servicemen lost their lives in a suicide bomb blast.
The 49-year-old gay actor, whose father is a retired major, said that modern recruits were "pathetic" and added that "the whole point of being in the Army was wanting to get killed".
He also suggested that many recruits enlisted just so they could torture prisoners.
He issued an unreserved apology saying he felt "terrible anguish" at his earlier remarks.
