Madonna To Dolce And Gabbana: ‘Think Before You Speak’; All Babies Have A Soul
Madonna joined in heated social media discussions condemning the Italian designers, Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana, after the two released a statement on Sunday this week expressing disagreements on gay marriage and having IVF children.
The statement, previously had enraged Sir Elton John who urged everyone to boycott products registered under the Dolce and Gabbana fashion line.
According to reports from Reuters, the priestess of pop want the designs, who are also gays, 'to think before you speak.'
"All babies contain a soul however they come to this earth and their families. There is nothing synthetic about a soul!! So how can we dismiss IVF and surrogacy? You are born and you have a father and a mother. Or at least it should be like this, that's why I am not convinced by chemical children, synthetic babies, wombs for rent," she posted on her Instagram on Wednesday.
"We are arrogant to think Man does anything on his own. As above so below! Think before you speak."
Madonna, who also had a modelling stint with Dolce and Gabbana, posted an old picture of her lying in bed while holding a baby. This picture is said to be part of the 2010 Dolce and Gabbana campaign wherein the popstar played the role of an Italian housewife, Huffington said.
Earlier, other celebrities like Courtney Love, Victoria Beckham, Martina Navratilova, and Ricky Martin reacted and sympathized with Elton John when he insisted that his babies are 'not synthetic, ABC reports.
Dolce and Gabbana had already responded to the boycott clarifying certain points in a recent interview on multiple sources, according to Vanity Fair.
In the interviews, Gabbana said "I did not expect [the boycott to come] from a person who I believed-I underline, I believed-to be intelligent like Elton John. He is ignorant, in the sense he ignores that there are different opinions to his which are equally worthy of respect."
"Boycott Dolce & Gabbana for what? They don't think like you? This is correct? This is not correct. We are in 2015. This is like medieval. It's not correct," Gabbana said in an interview in CNN.
"I believe in the traditional family," he continued. "It is impossible to change my culture for something different. It's me . . . I respect all the world, all the culture." Gabbana added: "We love gay couples. We are gay. We love gay couples. We love gay adoption. We love everything. It's just an express of my private point of view."
