"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," and “You are born to a mother and a father — or at least that’s how it should be, I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalog.”
The statement is confusing everyone, especially given the fact that both designers are gay! The comment has caught the attention of many people in Hollywood including Ricky Martin, Victoria Beckham and Sir Elton John who stated in an Instagram post:
"How dare you refer to my beautiful children as "synthetic". And shame on you for wagging your judgmental 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."
Since then, Gabbana replied:
“This online campaigning is useless. A gay rights group put words in our mouths in bad faith, and it got out of control. We don’t and won’t boycott anyone.”
Personally, I will certainly join the boycott on Dolce & Gabbana because the various comments that have been made have been out of taste and very hurtful to many.
Where do you stand?
