A real celebrity war is unfolding on social media. The famous British musician Elton John took offense at the Italian fashion designers Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana. Fashion designers have spoken out rather harshly about children raised by gay couples, and now Sir Elton has announced a boycott of them.

Dolce and Gabbana, who at one time were connected not only by business, but also by romantic relationships, said in an interview with the Italian edition Panorama that the appearance of children among gay couples looks unnatural for them.

“No 'synthetic' babies and no rented womb. Life should be natural, there is no need to artificially interfere with the course of some things,”the designers said. “A person is born from a mother and father, from an act of love, this is the only way it should be,” added the designers. At the same time, Stefano noted that he would like to have a traditional family, and Domenico categorically rejected such an opportunity: “I am gay and I cannot have a child. You can't have everything you want in life."

Upon learning of the statement of Domenico and Stefano, Elton John, raising two sons born to surrogate mothers, was indignant to the core. "How dare you call my beautiful children" synthetic "? - the musician wrote on Instagram. - Shame on you for your judgments about test-tube babies - about a miracle that allowed many loving people, both heterosexuals and homosexuals, to realize their dream and have children. Your archaic thinking lagged behind life, as well as your fashion. I will never wear anything from Dolce & Gabbana again."

Within a few hours, the hashtag #BoycottDolceGabbana became the leader in social networks. John was supported not only by singer Ricky Martin and actor Ryan Murphy, raising children born to surrogate mothers, but also by infamous singer Courtney Love.

“I have collected all the Dolce & Gabbana clothes and will burn them! This is beyond the bounds, "- said the performer.

After the outbreak of the war on social networks, Domenico tried to go on the attack and even rashly called Elton John a fascist on Instagram, but then deleted the message. In the end, the designers chose to apologize. “We didn't want to judge other people for their choices. We believe in freedom and love,”the designers explained.
