#BoycottDolceGabbana is trending and here’s why!
Because Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana co-founders of the brand, called children conceived by IVF – in-vitro fertilisation, ‘chemical’ and ‘synthetic’ in an interview with an Italian magazine, Panorama.
“We oppose gay adoptions,” said the pair, “The only family is the traditional one.“No chemical offsprings and rented uterus: life has a natural flow, there are things that should not be changed.”
I think D&G aree the only Gay couples in the world who still believe that being striaght is the natural way, yeah I know confuse GAY guys.
The interview caused a lot of outrage and Elton took it personally, as him and his husband David Furnish have two children via IVF.
Elton addressed the pair on his Instagram page,
How dare you refer to my beautiful children as “synthetic”. And shame on you for wagging your judgemental little fingers at IVF – a miracle that has allowed legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfil their dream of having children. Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions. I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again. #BoycottDolceGabbana”
The design duo have now responded to Elton, with Dolce saying although his family is traditional, he understands ‘different ones’
Dolce added, “I was talking about my personal view, without judging other people’s choices and decisions.”
Gabbana said, “We talked about our way of seeing reality, but it was never our intention to judge other people’s choices. We do believe in freedom and love.”
After the measured response, Gabbana seems to have more thoughts on the issue, saying that because he has different views, it doesn’t mean he is intolerant of others.
