You know the story… Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana – who are gay themselves – said:

“We oppose gay adoptions. The only family is the traditional one. No chemical offsprings and rented uterus: life has a natural flow, there are things that should not be changed.”

It seems, despite speaking out against gay adoptions, that designer Stefano Gabbana once, not so long ago, wanted to adopt. In 2006, Gabbana told Vanity Fair that he had asked a female friend to carry his child via artificial insemination, saying:

“My dream is to have a baby, not to adopt one because I am not up to it and I don’t feel strong enough. I want my own child, a biological child, the fruit of my sperm, conceived through artificial insemination because it wouldn’t make sense for me to make love to a woman I don’t love.

A week ago I asked a dear friend of mine, who is twelve years younger than me, if she would help. I asked her, ‘Would you like to be the mother of my child?’ She was left a bit shocked and the following day telephoned and said she was still shocked, but thought it was a great idea.”

That same year, Gabbana told the Daily Mail:

“I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents.”

And his now ex-boyfriend, and current business partner Dolce said in 2005:

“In life I have had everything it is possible to have but I have the small handicap of being gay so having a child is not possible for me. I could adopt or get one from abroad but I’m paralysed by the fear that the child could feel exploited.”

Being gay is “a small handicap”? Gentlemen, do you have a few issues, or what? Not to be flippant but it sounds like maybe these two should be speaking to a therapist, instead of the media. (via Pink News)
