 "Adopted children are synthetic: #BoycottDolceGabbana trends as duo oppose gay adoption")
Italian designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana are in the spotlight for their comments on what constitutes a traditional family. In an interview with Italy’s Panorama magazine, the fashion designer duo said, “We oppose gay adoptions. 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.” [caption id=“attachment_2156627” align=“alignleft” width=“380”]  Dolce and Gabbana. Image from Reuters.[/caption] Dolce and Gabbana, a gay couple themselves till 2005, have now sparked a controversy amidst fans, celebrities and social media circles with their comments. “You are born to a mother and a father — or at least that’s how it should be,” said Dolce, in the interview as documented by Washington Post. “I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalog." Many celebrities responded with disdain, including Ricky Martin, Victoria Beckham and Elton John. John posted a picture of a younger Dolce and Gabbana on instagram with the caption: “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.” Since then the hash-tag #BoycottDolceGabbana has been trending on twitter. Here are some of the responses:
lets officially stop buying @dolcegabbana. designers who hate on children of gay adoption dont deserve our time of day. #BoycottDolceGabbana

It probably wasn't a good idea to offend the gay community. I don't see many straight men running around in D&G. #BoycottDolceGabbana
