Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, two Italian fashion designers who are known as the world’s wealthiest one-time same-sex couple, are being attacked by their own this week after the two spoke out against gay “marriage” and adoption as well as the use of artificial reproductive techniques that take the love out of procreation.
LifeSiteNews.com is reporting on an interview the pair gave to the Italian magazine, Panorama, in which they state: “We oppose gay adoptions. The only family is the traditional one.”
Dolce added, “You are born to a mother and a father – or at least that’s how it should be” and his partner, Gabbana said, “The family is not a fad. In it, there is a supernatural sense of belonging.”
They went on to express their opposition to in vitro fertilization, the technique used by same-sex couples to produce children.
The pair, who are now business partners only, called the offspring of this technique, “children of chemistry, synthetic children, uteri for rent, semen chosen from a catalog” and said they believe life has a natural flow and that “there are things that should not be changed.”
Their common sense was met with instant outrage from the homosexual community.
Led by the openly gay Elton John, who has two children produced via IVF with his “husband” David Furnish, a movement is underway to boycott Dolce and Gabbana for “lining up with the Pope and the far-Right in their support for legal discrimination.”
“Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions,” John wrote. “I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again,” and closed with the hashtag #BoycottDolceGabbana.
The designers, who have a combined net worth exceeding $1 billion, responded to John by posting their own Instagram calling Elton John a “fascist” and urging “Boycott Elton John.”
Thus far, the two have refused to back down.
“We firmly believe in democracy and the fundamental principle of freedom of expression that upholds it,” Gabbana wrote. “We talked about our way of seeing reality, but it was never our intention to judge other people’s choices. . . . We do believe in freedom and love.”
Dolce, who was raised in a traditional Sicilian family, says he’s aware of other types of families and believes they’re as legitimate as his own, but says that he was “talking about my personal view, without judging other people’s choices and decisions.”
As usual, personal opinions that defy the prescribed PC talking points are considered hate speech and Dolce and Gabbana are discovering what so many other right-minded people have found – there’s no respect for freedom of speech in today’s gay movement. It’s their way, or the highway and lest you don’t know the way to the road out-of-their-town, it will be strewn with identifying features such as your email box filled with hate mail and personal threats, the boycotting of your business, and various tweets, Instagram and Facebook posts that defame your character.
We can only hope that the truth spoken by one of their own will impact the thousands of same-sex attracted folks here in America who are open to reason and whose voices are continually drowned out by the activist dictators who keep this community under their tight-fisted control.
