And it reminds me that if we line all these babies up their first day of kindergarten we will see little human beings. You won't be able to tell at all which kids were conceived via IVF (or formula fed, or at jars of baby food, or did anything else "artificial." Though maybe sometimes you can tell who wasn't given enough love.) Maybe this sounds super cheesy but can't people get past our differences and see that first? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111550 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:58:44 +0000 2littlepumpkins 2111550@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@MrsMccarthy: lol yes!!!</p> <p>So, so stupid. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111476 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:31:12 +0000 BlueWolverine 2111476@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Yes, yes, D&amp;G, you have a right to your opinion. Everyone else has a right to judge you for it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111466 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:25:19 +0000 Sunshine1810 2111466@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I was completely disgusted by this. IVF is the only way DH and I will be able to have children. There is nothing "synthetic" about a child born from IVF. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111461 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:23:16 +0000 mrsjyw 2111461@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ridiculous. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111459 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:21:04 +0000 MrsSCB 2111459@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Leialou: Ugh, he needs to just stop talking! Now he's calling Elton John "fascist"?? What he originally said was stupid and hateful and now he's just digging himself deeper. It drives me crazy when people throw around terms like "fascist" or "Nazi" to describe people they don't like. It's actually really offensive. But I guess I shouldn't be surprised, coming from this guy! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111443 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:11:35 +0000 Mrs. Pickle 2111443@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Of course they were "taken out of context."</p> <p><a href="http://www.celebitchy.com/417421/stefano_gabbana_elton_john_is_a_fascist_for_calling_for_a_dg_boycott/" rel="nofollow">http://www.celebitchy.com/417421/stefano_gabbana_elton_john_is_a_fascist_for_calling_for_a_dg_boycott/</a></p> <p>I've been following this story too. My baby is not synthetic. I'm glad Elton John said something. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111435 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 10:08:43 +0000 coopsmama 2111435@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, I hadn't heard of this until now and I'm blown away by how offensive those remarks are. :shocked: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111287 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 09:03:22 +0000 Mommy Finger 2111287@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>To be fair, they didn't specifically call out Elton John's kids, he just responded to their statement. While I absolutely don't agree with what they said (who could?), they do have a right to their opinion and to voice it however they choose. But then everyone else has a right to voice their opinion about it and choose not to purchase their clothes. So really, I would say it's a bad business decision. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111286 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 09:02:10 +0000 oliviaoblivia 2111286@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>So offensive. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111255 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 08:45:37 +0000 LuLu Mom 2111255@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, what idiots. Not that I can afford D&amp;G but if I could I would boycott! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111242 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 08:40:52 +0000 travelgirl1 2111242@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Such ignorant, offensive comments. Totally with Elton John on this one. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111231 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 08:37:15 +0000 looch 2111231@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I think this is probably some kind of orchestrated comment to make them relevant in the news. Remember the situation a few years ago when John Galliano made some comment about Jewish people, and Natalie Portman (the face of Dior Cherie, where Galliano was the designer) spoke out against him? People love a good grovel and a comeback.</p> <p>Now, do I agree with what he said? No, but we're talking about them, which I suspect is the reason behind it. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111204 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 08:24:05 +0000 Crystal 2111204@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Ugh.

If a particular method isn't for you, then don't do it. But to call IVF babies synthetic is disgusting. I hope more people &amp; celebs boycott them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111172 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 08:06:15 +0000 littlebug 2111172@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I simply don't understand why people don't THINK before they speak. Or at least consult with their PR people! Good for Elton John, and I hope every other celebrity follows his lead. Put D&amp;G out of business. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111166 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 08:02:09 +0000 lawbee11 2111166@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I'd be willing to bet the people who are going to agree with them on this aren't the ones out buying tons of D&amp;G. So it certainly seems like they've bitten the hand that feeds them. Good riddance! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111161 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 07:58:33 +0000 blackbird 2111161@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Bunch of assholes </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111145 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 07:52:30 +0000 mrswin 2111145@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>WTF is wrong with people. :meh: </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111118 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 07:25:34 +0000 Littlebit 2111118@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>They are disgusting. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111116 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 07:22:23 +0000 twodoghouse 2111116@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@jaguar: 100% agree</p> <p>I've been following this because I love Elton and I have IVF kids so obviously it's close to my heart. I just don't understand why D&amp;G are saying this. What do they gain from publicizing this opinion? Don't they have Marketing people who tell them not to say things that are bound to offend a whole bunch of people? Anyway, I'm not walking around in designer clothes so it's something of a non-issue for me personally, but I love that other celebrities are taking up the boycott. IVF is an incredible thing that has given so many families a chance to have children. How dare anyone call that unnatural or synthetic? </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/dolce-amp-gabbana-calls-elton-johns-children-synthetic#post-2111100 Tue, 17 Mar 2015 06:57:57 +0000 Adira 2111100@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>Wow, what a horrible thing to say!!

They were in Vanity Fair 10 years ago talking about how they wanted a family, so I feel like this is some kind of publicity stunt or something.
