Dolce & Gabbana: "Gays shouldn't raise children"

[Guest]

 

Elton John has called for a boycott of fashion brand Dolce and Gabbana after he said the designers labelled children born through IVF “synthetic”.

The singer and songwriter, 67, who has two children with his husband, David Furnish, angrily rebuked the Italian designers for criticising same-s-x families and the use of fertility treatment.

Business partners Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, who were once a couple, have previously voiced their rejection of same-s-x marriage, but in an interview with an Italian magazine this weekend they extended their objection to include same-s-x families.

In an Instagram post on Sunday morning, John said: “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 Czech-American former tennis star Martina Navratilova, who married her girlfriend in December, tweeted in support: “Wow – I had no idea. It will be interesting to see if this ridiculousness hurts them in the bank. BoycottDolceGabbana.”

In an interview in 2006, Gabbana revealed that he had approached a woman to be the mother of his baby but made it clear that he struggled with the idea of a same-s-x family.

“I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents,” he said. “A child needs a mother and a father. I could not imagine my childhood without my mother. I also believe that it is cruel to take a baby away from its mother.”

A child needs a father and a mother? What about all the single moms and dads out there? Should their incredible effort be labeled as wrong too? Two people are raising children with lots, lots of love and that is all that matters. 

In other words; you go, Elton!

i'm sure it's been proven that same-s-x couples are more likely to be accepting and better treating to their children no matter what. And they're also more likely to adopt "unwanted" children. 

after all for example; how many times have we heard of a gay couple rejecting their child bc they're straight?

Such an archaic way of thinking. 

If I could afford designer clothes, I would totally join the boycott

People who say that a child needs a mother don't realize that a child can have multiple mother figures in their lifes, the mother figures can even be male.

Dolce & Gabbana hasn't been relevant or created notable fashion since 2004. Somebody's in for a desperate grab of attention.

They are both a JOKE now. Anything to get noticed. First the uncalled attack to Lady Gaga, now this. 

Poor miserable people.

This is really sick to hear in the day and age we live in, they're is absolutely no evidence children are affected by being raised by gay parents

"Synthetic"... they aren't The Powerpuff Girls  They're real children, even if the child has been made with a procedure that doesn't involve s-xual intercourse - it's still sperm cell + ovum  Sexual intercourse is just the easiest method, the base of reproduction is still the same, so no they definitely aren't "synthetic" in the slightest
