Katong mu-comment ug non-sense " I don't give a damn" or I don't care", ayaw nlang pud mo ug comment, we don't need your useless post. This is not an argument between two Gays (Dolce & Gabbana versus Elton John). This is an argument about humanity, how children should be raised and how we preserve this tradition.
The call to boycott fashion label Dolce & Gabbana, launched by the LGBT News Italia website and supported by a rightly furious and hurt Elton John, was as inevitable as the subsequent hashtag #BoycottDolceGabbana.
Designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, a one-time couple, had opinedthat in-vitro fertilization led to “synthetic” children and that gay people could not be parents; this despite a 2006 interview, quoted in the Daily Mail, in which Gabbana said he wanted to have a child via artificial insemination himself.
The question is not so much why they said what they did, and the subsequent boycott, but what changed Stefano Gabbana’s mind so radically. In 2006, he wanted to have children using exactly the same method he now denigrates as a choice of other gay parents.
“I want my own child, a biological child, the fruit of my sperm, conceived through artificial insemination because it wouldn’t make sense for me to make love to a woman I don’t love,” he said then. On Sunday, calls to Dolce and Gabbana went unanswered. Is it their Catholic upbringings? How did these two gay men become so prejudiced against LGBT parents?
Predictably and rightly, the Internet went into outrage overdrive over the pair’s latest remarks in the March 12 edition of the Italian magazinePanorama.
As with the controversies over Mozilla’s Prop 8-supporting CEO Brendan Eichand the Dorchester group of hotels, owned by the Sharia-law supporting Sultan of Brunei, the immediate consumer reaction to homophobia has been to hit D&G where it hurts, at the cash register, and a call for a boycott.
The right wing has tried exactly the same thing. One Million Moms boycotted Ellen DeGeneres when she became a JCPenney spokeswoman—although that boycott didn’t work out so effectively.
In the interview with Panorama magazine, Dolce held forth on why he thought children born via IVF were “synthetic.”
