Legendary Gay Designers Oppose Gay Marriage, Gay Parenting, Surrogacy

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, founders of the eponymous fashion house, have come out strongly against gay marriage, the notion of gay families, and the use of surrogacy to procreate.

The billionaire pair, who used to be romantically linked, gave an interview with the Italian magazine Panorama, in which they said, “The only family is the traditional one. No chemical offspring and rented uterus. Life has a natural flow; there are things that cannot be changed.”

They also said, “Procreation must be an act of love.”

“I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Uteri for rent, semen chosen from a catalogue,” Dolce stated.

Gabanna said, “The family is not a fad. In it there is a supernatural sense of belonging.”

The pair have long been outspoken about gay marriage. In 2013, when the London Telegraph asked them if they had ever considered getting married, they answered, “What? Never!” Dolce said, “I’m a practicing Catholic.”

Gabbana told the Daily Mail in 2006, “I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents.”

LGBTNews in Italy is already calling for a boycott of Dolce and Gabbana.

It is not unusual for gay men in Europe to oppose gay marriage. In fact, a group of gay men in France, calling themselves Les Hommen, have been an ongoing feature of traditional marriage protests in France. Les Hommen invaded the French Open, stripped to the waist, with pro-marriage slogans written on their chests. Gay Star News suggested it was “the most homoerotic anti-gay protest ever.”

Nuts!
(and awesome)

 

I've been yearning to hear the other side of this saga. I've always known that there are gay people who do not support the new laws on gay marriage. A local (South Africa) gay socialite and medical doctor spoke out against gay marriage after our parliament legalized gay marriages. Somehow I feel like these stories are being suppressed by the media. A lesbian friend of mine has no intentions of marrying her long time girlfriend either (or any other woman for that matter).

 

It is easy to make a point when something is at arm's length. When my own sister decided to marry the lady who is the love of her life there were numbers of people who told me to protest, to boycott to take a stand. Some of these people were staunch Christians. The reality was that I was thrilled that my sister was so happy, and fulfilled in a relationship that has enabled her to grow and blossom, and the love they share flows beyond them and they become a blessing to others. Ultimately I am not opposed to marriage, however I don't think it is compulsory either. I do get that some gay people don't think gay people need to mimic a straight lifestyle. I think people should be allowed to do what is right for them. There are some straight people who choose not to get married, and some who choose to. I am not standing on a pedestal telling people how to live. We can all only walk according to the light we have. Sacraments are signs. What sort of sign do you want to make marriage? NO ENTRY? GO BACK YOU ARE GOING THE WRONG WAY' or a sign of God's unending love for his people. I know what gets my vote.

 

The key is mutual respect. My friend does not expect me to change my belief on what constitutes a marriage, just like I do not expect her to wake up tomorrow and we discover that she is straight. I just feel that those of us who hold on to the traditional view of marriage are being ridiculed, even within the church
