The sexual orientation of the TMNT

Once again, another complexity about the Turtles' lives that people just don't speculate on.

Canon disagrees with you. Michaelangelo reproduces in the Mirage books. I think he also takes over an orphanage in the Archie books as well.

But let's remove the canon rebuttal and think about the story. Splinter adopted and raised his kids to be assassins. What makes you think that the turtles wouldn't do the exact same thing?

(Well, save for Don, who I think is too much of a pacifist for such an endeavor.)
