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."

This is how the Left and Gays react, the use the BOYCOTT. Conservatives need to learn this ploy.

Yawn

Gay man throws hissy fit. Film at 11.

wagging your judgmental little fingers

Some people do that a lot Elton. They really do.

[Politicalkiddo]

If I had millions, I would buy from them just for these comments.

[Veggie Todd]

Someone has their panties in a twist.

We must be a world of tolerance...of one point of view.

I’m sorry, Sir Elton John, but that is called totalitarianism. Skip back a bit in the dictionary and read tolerance, and then look up marriage while you’re at it.

[Puppage]

Hey, Elton....Don’t say anything unless Bernie Taupin writes it...ok?

Well, I’ve been boycotting Elton John for a half century! LOL!

And I’m a Piano Player! hahaha!

Kudos to Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbano for speaking against those sins (although 'conspicuous consumption' is another).

[Raycpa]

And shame on you for wagging your judgmental little fingers at IVF as Elton John wags his own judgemental finger.

Free speech for me, not for thee, Elton?

Elton, I would have thought you'd long ago learned that the opinions of others are not homogenous with your own, or those who you flock with. Your own stupid, irreverent, narrow-minded comments and beliefs through the years have been tolerated by millions the world over. You should be thankful for that. It has made you a multimillionaire. Many of those dollars coming from people who find your bedroom practices unnatural and sinful. Certainly, the self proclaimed tolerance you bleat applies to all.....does it not? If not, you are a hypocrite. A loathsome thing to be.

[Thumper1960]

Elton is a piccolo player, is he not?

[Zeppo]

Purse fight!

Actually, a variation on that instrument, known as the piccolissimo.

Like the world’s tiniest violin.

[longfellow]

Right, all I have to worry about is my son being sent to Afghanistan.

[beethovenfan]

Nothing like an enraged queen.

[Torahman]

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.
