Furious Elton John Calls for Boycott of Dolce and Gabbana Over IVF Comments

Furious Elton John Calls for Boycott of Dolce and Gabbana Over IVF Comments Sir Elton John on Sunday called for a boycott of the swank fashion house Dolce & Gabbana after the founders declared their opposition to same-sex marriage and gay adoptions in an interview with an Italian fashion magazine.

D&G, which has clothed some of the celebrity world's top stars, was founded 30 years ago by Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbano. Their designs have been worn by Angelina Jolie, Scarlett Johansson, Christian Bale and many other movie stars.

But the founders, who were once a couple, told the magazine Panorama they supported "traditional marriage."

John, who married his longtime partner David Furnish last December, issued a furious retort on his Instagram account, saying he would never wear Dolce and Gabbana again and calling on others to join a boycott of the company.

The British singer-songwriter, who has two children born via a surrogate, was especially annoyed at Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbano for their comments about the children of gay couples. They told the publication that kids who aren't born into traditional families are "children of chemistry."

John responded: "How dare you refer to my beautiful children as "synthetic." And shame on you for wagging your judgmental little fingers at IVF — a miracle that has allowed legions of loving people, both straight and gay, to fulfill their dream of having children."

“IVF...a miracle that allows...”

A miracle? I think it might be science. Thought the libs were all about science.

Elton’s John used to have NO PROBLEMS with those positions...or at least he knew enough to keep his mouth shut in order to sell records.

Now it’s fashionable to go on the attack.

To hell with EJ and all people straight or gay that have or adopt children for pets, fashion accessories or publicity. To hell with them.

-says Elton, who NEVER wags a judgmental little finger at ANYBODY who disagrees with him! Right???

Plus what I call “The Boom.” Defined as constant screaming through the media for about three weeks at which time the “truth” is recognized by all.

Well, it's a huge sacrifice. But, I probably won't buy anything Dolce and Gabbana again.

BTW - let this be a lesson to you ignoramouses who say music was better in the old days. It wasn’t. For every good song you remember, there were twenty horrible things we had to suffer through - often from this clown. Forty years ago, he was taken quite seriously!

We all suffered through disco and pop rock. If not for Motown the airwaves would have joined TV as a vast wasteland.

That's not all that's twisted. The Torah is plain enough when it speaks. Sexual Perversion is Not to be tolerated. Never. It should never be seen. It must be suppressed. Otherwise Goodness and Righteousness will be Suppressed. This is not complicated people! Force the maggots and the worms underground where they belong.

Amen. That subculture is not fit for sane adults, much less children.

It's really gone twisted when a double voice of reason is coming out from Sodomite corners. EJ squeals as if he's been... condemned.

Well, one thing has become very obvious in this generation - exactly why Sodom needed to end in a cataclysmic, flaming inferno.

But the founders, who were once a couple

So the two guys were a couple but don't agree with the homosexual agenda. Good for them.

Dolce and Gabbana are exactly correct about bad homosexual parents.

Elton is number one example. Darling Elton and Delightful David had a baby. (Disgusting alert!) They mixed the sperm together at conception so poor child won’t know find out who his father is until he gets old enough steal their DNA.

Nor does the child have a mother. He only has two men who can’t breastfeed and nurture as only a woman can.

Poor mixed-up baby, and selfish, greedy parents.

Elton says: “... he would never wear Dolce and Gabbana again.”

That’s kind of funny all by itself.

So maybe I’ll boycott them also—of course, I would have to know something about them first. “Square old heterosexual male to boycott Dolce and Gabbana.” I can see the headlines now.

I wonder what happen. There are Gays that do not support gay marriage or any other marriage. They simply want to live their own lives. I wonder what happen? Did they change?
