Melania Trump’s decision to wear a Dolce & Gabbana dress to a New Year’s Eve celebration has sparked a firestorm of controversy.
A number of high-profile fashion designers, including Tom Ford, Marc Jacobs and Sophie Theallet, have publicly refused to dress the incoming first lady. In contrast, Stefano Gabbana happily posted a photo of Trump wearing the dress, which retails for $2,995 at Saks Fifth Avenue, to his Instagram account, with the hashtags #DGwoman and #madeinitaly.

Naturally, the Jan. 2 post instantly divided Gabbana’s Instagram followers. In particular, some interpreted the openly gay designer’s post as an endorsement of Donald Trump, and blasted Gabbana for what they perceived as his support of a president-elect who ran on an explicitly anti-LGBTQ platform.
“Many gays, minorities and others fear legislation that will take away freedoms. If it were Mrs. Reagan, Bush or Obama (either party) no one on either side would mind,” one user wrote. “But this is offensive to the core.” Added another: “Sad when a gay designer doesn’t care about other groups being repressed.”
As it turned out, that last remark was too much for Gabbana, who fired back at the user, “Dont call me gay please!! I’m a man!!! Who I love its my private life [sic].”(continued)

Hysterical fairies fighting. Cat fight!
What a world a whiners we live in.
For the record, I dont give a damn what any queer thinks or says about anything.
It must be exhausting being a liberal.
Angry faggies...drama queens...it’s all about me! me! MEEE!!!!
Gay fans ?
D&G make womens clothing.
One would think that the relevant fans are wealthy women.
I suppose the problem is that these wealthy women may have gay fashion advisers. That itself seems to be a general cultural problem.
...Angers Gay Fans
She looked drop-dead gorgeous in that dress. What has Trump or Melania ever done to the gay community? Truth be told, he’s more liberal on the whole thing than I am!
Wonder what Hillary would look like in that dress.
I’m glad he told them to vete a la chin***-whatever he does in his personal life, Gabbana apparently keeps it out of his business dealings, as a real professional should-he likes to make money...
The whiners who bring their sex lives into even their business dealings have no class...
Gays talk about peace and love for everybody when they’re the worst offenders of discrimination. Seeing how they treat one of their own when he/she/it doesn’t toe the party line is proof of that. My message to them: I don’t need your punk ass to vouch for me. I’d rather buy my clothes from a non-homo anyway.
