The argument stems from comments about in-vitro fertilization in Panorama magazine, in which Gabbana and longtime collaborator Domenico Dolce spoke about “synthetic” children born from “rented” wombs.

“No chemical children: life has a natural course, there are things that shouldn’t be modified”. The magazine also promises insights from the designers on “the importance of relationships within conventional families with very, very traditional values” in an interview that hit Italian newsstands last week.

“You are born to a mother and a father — or at least that’s how it should be,” Dolce said.

Gabbana: “The family is not a fad. In it there is a supernatural sense of belonging.”

In case you didn’ know Dolce and Gabbana are gay. Not only are they business partners but for many years they were a couple.

“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 fulfill their dream of having children,” Sir Elton John said Sunday on Instagram. “Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions. I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever again.”

Sir Elton appears to be winning the social media war with the hashtag #BoycottDolceGabbana, which by Monday morning had been used more than 35,000 times on Twitter since John invoked it on Sunday. By comparison, Gabbana’s #boycotteltonjohn has been used just 1,600 times on Twitter, according to social media search tool Topsy.

So we at Concupisco.com are wondering about where you stand. Are you going to boycott or will you still keep buying Dolce & Gabbana stuff.
