Dolce and Gabbana defend anti-gay comments

Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have responded to backlash after their "synthetic" babies remarks were condemned by Elton John.
Despite the backlash, the two Italian renowned designers stand firmly by their statement, reported Ace Showbiz.
They said, "We believe firmly in democracy and we think freedom of expression is essential for that. We talked about our way of looking at the world, but it was not our intention to express a judgement on other people's choices. We believe in freedom and love."
Gabbana previously said, "The only family is the traditional one. I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents." Dolce added, "I call children of chemistry, synthetic children. Rented uterus, semen chosen from a catalogue."

This triggered an angry reaction from John who, has two children with his partner David Furnish through a surrogate mother.
He fired back, "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 fulfil their dream of having children."
Martina Navratilova applauded the singer, "Right on Elton and David. My D&G shirts are going in the bin - don't want anyone to wear them."
Ricky Martin joined the critics, "@dolcegabbana your voices are too powerful to be spreading so much hatred. Wake up. It's 2015. Lover yourselves guys #boycottdolcegabbana.
