Tell Macy's & Debenhams to drop Dolce & Gabbana over 'synthetic children' remarks
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.
