Peter Tatchell leads a protest outside Dolce and Gabbana store, Old Bond Street, London, UK 19 March 2015.
The police arrive to keep the store open. The Out and Proud Diamond Group and the Peter Tatchell Foundation support the international boycott of Dolce and Gabbana and lead a protest outside their flagship London store, 6-8 Old Bond Street, London 19 March 2015. The protest is in response to the fashion designers ‘insulting slurs’ against same-sex parents and their children. Speaking to the Italian magazine Panorama, alongside his business partner, Stefano Gabbana, Domenico Dolce said children should be born to a mother and a father: “The only family is a traditional one. I’m not convinced by those I call the chemical children, synthetic babies...They are wombs for hire, semen chosen from a catalogue ... psychiatrists are not ready to confront the effects of this experimentation.” Stefano Gabbana added: “The family is not a fad.” In 2006, he told the Daily Mail: "I am opposed to the idea of a child growing up with two gay parents."
