What a horrible standpoint of Dolce and Gabbana. I just cant believe they said that and i applaud Elton John for his beautiful and true comment. I think IVF is such a beautiful thing and it is such a blessing if a baby gets born via IVF, a blessing i have witnessed myself and for which i am greatful every single day.
I much more adore the Queen approach, just listen to the lyrics of "the miracle". "Test tube babies being born, it's a miracle"

I'm late to the discussion of "hot" songs, but here is my contribution -- Cole Porter's "It's Too Darn Hot." Like all of Cole Porter's songs, it has such clever lyrics such as:
According to the Kinsey report ev'ry average man you know much prefers to play his favorite sport when the temperature is low but when the thermometer goes way up and the weather is sizzling hot Mister Adam for his madam is not cause it's too too it's too darn hot, it's too darn hot It's too too too too darn hot
Cole Porter was a gay man living at a time when homosexuality could not be publicly acknowledged. I feel sad to see D&G try to turn back the clock.

Im not condoning what d and g said. But its a sad day when freedom of speech is not allowed. What they said was out of line. But it seems generally when this happens media glorify it and make a big deal about it even if it is. In this case its certainly justified. But I dont know am I wrong in thinking ppl are entitled to be againgst alternative lifestyles etc. Maybe if ppl respected everyones right to freedom of speech everyone wld get on. Okay thats my ot rant done haha.

Okay thats my ot rant done haha. I believe that everyone has a right to say whatever they want and express their own opinions. I also believe that everyone else is entitled to disagree with/critique/judge the opinions of others expressed in a public forum. You don't get to say whatever the hell you want and be let off without any kind of disagreement or backlash. Free speech doesn't work that way. Not all opinions are created equally. The problem with D&G's opinion is as follows: they don't merely speak for themselves not wanting to adopt/marry/have an IVF child. No, they made a generalized statement speaking for how all people should behave. That is what you call "pushing one's beliefs onto others." They also spoke against "synthetic children" in a derogatory way, implying that those children are lesser than children born from more traditional methods. Also, why do you think people are entitled to be against alternative lifestyles? Unless those people can back up their arguments against alternative lifestyles with legitimate evidence for why they are bad (spoiler alert: they can't), they're not entitled to shit. They may not want to live an "alternative lifestlye" themselves, but to dictate how other people should live their lives? No. People like D&G need to take a seat before they embarrass themselves. As I said, they're free to say whatever they want, but the rest of the world is free to respond however they want. For the record, D&G then released a statement BACKTRACKING on their original comments. To that, I say: Don't think out loud Cause once it's out your mouth can't take it back ~

That is what is happening...and darn good thing IMHO. They are not in jail...that is because they have freedom of speech. Being in an industry such as fashion and saying something like that in a very public way, is just plain Stupid!! No laws against that either, obviously. This is pure and simple foreseeable consequences.

There was no restriction on their freedom of speech nor should there be on the responses.

Ooh, found this on twitter
I didn't know this one. It's great! And isn't this the same session as that AWESOME Sleepwalker? And does the existence of this one mean that there might be a good vid of that Sleepwalker out there somewhere??
Yeah this was the same place as that fantastic Sleepwalker, my favorite!!! I have never seen a better video of that however.
