Dolce & Gabbana Suddenly “Love” Gay Adoption, Complain They Were Unfairly Boycotted

Stefano Gabbana and Domenico Dolce are taking back disgraceful comments they made about in vitro fertilization (IVF) and same-sex marriage in a magazine interview last week, playing the old “we’re allowed to have opinions” card in a new interview with CNN Wednesday.

The gay fashion designers, better known by their brand Dolce & Gabbana, committed career assassination when they told Panorama that they believe same-sex parenting is unnatural, and that children born through IVF are “synthetic” and of “rented wombs.”

“We oppose gay adoptions,” they said. “The only family is the traditional one.”

A boycott of the D&G brand was immediately called by Elton John, father of two children born through IVF, on Instagram. “How dare you refer to my beautiful children as ‘synthetic,” he wrote. “Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions.”

The comments were almost unanimously criticized by other celebrities including Courtney Love and Andy Cohen, who vowed to rid their closets of the D&G brand.

Responding to criticism in the CNN interview below, Gabbana claims he does not agree with Dolce’s view on families with same-sex parents.”We love gay couple. We are gay. We love gay couple. We love gay adoption. We love everything. It’s just an express of my private point of view,” he said.

The pair also say they’ve been unfairly targeted by the boycott. “Boycott Dolce & Gabbana for what?” said Gabbana. “They don’t think like you? This is correct? This is not correct. We are in 2015. This is like medieval. It’s not correct.”
