overview
petition
Fashion designers Dolce and Gabbana have made insulting slurs against same-sex parents and their children. Domenico Dolce said children should be born to a mother and a father:

“The only family is a traditional one. I’m not convinced by those I call the chemical children, synthetic babies...They are wombs for hire, semen chosen from a catalogue ... psychiatrists are not ready to confront the effects of this experimentation.”

Stefano Gabbana added: “The family is not a fad.” In 2006, he told the Daily Mail: "I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents."



Both designers have in the past strongly opposed same-sex marriage.

Many have come out in support of an international boycott of the brand, including Elton John, The Out and Proud Diamond Group and the Peter Tatchell Foundation. D&G is an expensive brand, out of the reach of many members of the public. However, many of us shop in department stores like Macy's and Debenhams, which stock D&G.
