Dolce & Gabbana's Domenico and Stefano defend IVF 'synthetic' comments after Elton John boycott

Designing duo Dolce and Gabbana, or Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, are now defending their comments about IVF after Elton John called for a boycott.

As we previously reported, John angrily tweeted about Dolce’s comments on using other methods to conceive children other than the natural way.

He said, “I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented wombs, semen chosen from a catalog.” John, who has two children with husband David Furnish, was outraged.

The designers have sat down with CNN to defend Dolce’s comments, which differ from Gabbana’s views on IVF.

"I believe in the traditional family. It is impossible to change my culture for something different. It's me... I respect all the world, all the culture,” Dolce said of his Sicilian upbringing.

Gabbana added, "We love gay couple. We are gay. We love gay couple. We love gay adoption. We love everything. It's just an express of my private point of view.”

Celebrities like Ryan Murphy, Courtney Love and Andy Cohen have tweeted in support of John since the backlash began.
