The designers, who are themselves gay, in an interview with the Italian magazine Panorama on March 11, declared their rejection of gay marriage, IVF and surrogacy.

In a published interview, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana spoke out very harshly with condemnation of same-sex marriages and "uterus for rent", and children born by artificial insemination were called "synthetic": "A child should have a mom and dad, at least it was is always. We call IVF babies synthetic. The seed from which they were born is selected from the catalog. This is wildness. " At the same time, Domenico, who openly declares that he is gay, said that he was resigned to the fact that he would not have children, and his partner Stefano, who had never come out, said that he wanted to have a family.

A few days after the release of the interview, a scandal erupted in the Western media, and British musician Elton John announced a boycott of Dolce & Gabbana. Recall that Elton John and his husband David Furnish are raising two children born through IVF. On his Instagram account, the musician issued an angry statement to the Italian fashion duo: “How dare you call my wonderful children synthetic? And you should be ashamed of your unfair words about artificial insemination - this is a miracle that allowed many loving people, regardless of their sexual orientation, to fulfill their dream of children. Your archaic way of thinking is as lagging behind the times as your fashion. I will never wear Dolce & Gabbana again."

The British singer was supported by other representatives of show business. Among them are Victoria Beckham, Courtney Love, as well as singer and openly gay Ricky Martin, who is also raising children from a surrogate mother.
