Sir Elton John, one of Britain’s biggest celebrities, posted
an angry message on his Instagram page against Italian
fashion designers Dolce& Gabbana on Sunday.
The award-wining singer voiced his anger against the
fashion pair because of their controversial comments about
babies born out of In Vitro Fertilization (IVF).
In an interview with the Italian Panorama magazine on
March 11, Stefano Dolce & Domenico Gabbana , had
said: “The only family is the traditional one. No chemical
offsprings and rented uterus: life has a natural flow; there
are things that should not be changed.”
“I am gay, I cannot have a child. I guess you cannot have
everything in life,” Dolce added.
“Life has a natural course, some things cannot be changed.
One is the family.”
Elton John, who has two children via IVF with husband
David Furnish, was outraged at the statements coming from
the designers.
“How dare you refer to my beautiful children as ‘synthetic’?
And shame on you for wagging your judgemental little
fingers at IVF – a miracle that has allowed legions of loving
people, both straight and gay, to fulfill their dream of having
children,” he wrote.
“Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like
your fashions. I shall never wear Dolce and Gabbana ever
again. #BoycottDolceGabbana”.
Sir Elton Hercules John CBE is an English singer, songwriter,
composer, pianist and record producer. He is one of the
biggest-selling musicians in the world, with more than 300
million records sold throughout a 50 year career.
John was appointed a Commander of the Order of the
British Empire (CBE) in 1995 and knighted by Queen
Elizabeth II in February 1998 for his philanthropy, especially
in battling AIDS.

Wuuworld:
It will takes God a month to finish some people's judgment.

Vickybee:
If he says that his family is the only traditional way, you have to respect it. Afterall, he's not an African.

We hypocritical Africans know how to judge but we are the worst.

I'm sure if trumpet is blown today, Western worlds would have more people making heaven than Us. Nonsense

Madam speak for yourself o

phlamesG:
Is it elton john d gay guy? He is a big fool!

Vickybee:

Elton John is gay.

Dolce and Gabbana is also gay.

Funny people

phlamesG:
Really? I didnt knw Dolce and Gabbana are gay. Hmmm thats sad

Vickybee:

Yeah. The bone of contention is that Elton John gave birth through IVF which is rather artificial while Dolce and Gabbana prefers Artificial insemination.

naijaboiy:
Why do some people feel they rule the world

Who gives a flying fhuuck if he decides to wear any of their products or not

JoeCutie:
Dolce and Gabana do!

You've no idea how much they stand to lose now, especially with Sir. Elton coming out publicly to criticize them and declare his boycott. He even formed a hash tag for it. Trust oyinbo, it won't take much time before it starts trending on Twitter. Many people would honour the boycott.

Springz:

Nope, i don't think the boycotting will work, forget popularity. Kanye west is also popular yet he tried to boycott Nike and failed.

JoeCutie:
Even if the effect is not massive, they'll loose a few customers for sure as a result. Trust me.

Springz:

Or they might get more customers, these days people thrive on controversy check out the kardashians, their controversy sells.
