The singer – and parent to two children born through IVF – reacts to Domenico Dolce’s remarks about ‘synthetic children’ and ‘wombs for rent’
The singer Elton John joined leading gay rights groups in calling for a boycott of fashion house Dolce & Gabbana on Sunday, as comments by one of the celebrated Italian design duo about fertility treatment were labelled “archaic” and “deeply insulting”.
John, who has had two children with his husband David Furnish through IVF, said Domenico Dolce’s remarks about “synthetic children” and “wombs for rent” in an interview last week were “out of step with the times.” Speaking to the Italian magazine Panorama alongside his business partner, Stefano Gabbana, the designer said children should be born to a mother and a father.
