People Are Pissed About Dolce & Gabbana's "Gang Bang" Ad

This campaign in question is not too dissimilar from other racy releases from the brand over the years: The ads are typically hyper-sexualized, and often contain homoerotic themes—another main point of contention for critics who have slammed the duo's controversial view over same-sex vs. "traditional" families.

Elton John—who shares two sons born via surrogate with longtime love David Furnish—was one of the first public figures to decry the remarks, writing an open response to Dolce and Gabbana on social media: "Your archaic thinking is out of step with the times, just like your fashions," he said, before calling for a boycott the luxury designer label.

Other celebs who began families with adoption or insemination, including Sharon Stone, Ricky Martin and Ryan Murphy, also spoke out against the designers' view.
