Dolce & Gabbana remember when people misunderstood Stefano Gabbana’s asking for people to stop calling him gay. Despite Gabbana’s desire to be recognized as a human before a label, the company prides itself in making numerous contributions to the LGBT community. Here are some of the most notable things the company and founders have done.
Dolce & Gabbana Are Removing Labels
As Gabbana famously stated, the term gay is something society made up to label people. The homosexual designers have decided to remove their labels and contribute to the LGBT community by encouraging others to do the same and rise above their sexual orientation to claim their full human rights.
Focuses on Human Rights
Because they are removing rights, our founders are spreading a new culture that focuses on human rights above gay rights, meaning that people are people before they are any of the labels society gives them. The company, combined with the fame of the founders, is reinforcing the idea of human rights first in younger generations. That can provide future generations in the LGBT community with the human rights they deserve.
Promote Courageous Acts By All
In some regions, participating in pride month still takes a lot of courage for the LGBT community. The company supports these courageous actions by anyone, whether they face discrimination or not. The founders encourage people in this community not to hide or go on the defensive because they’ve done nothing wrong and still deserve fair human rights.
Founders Voice Their Opinions
While the idea of human rights above gay rights is not the most popular, Gabbana continues to voice his opinion. This is a vital quality of those fighting for gay rights alongside human rights, and it sets a great example that the LGBT community can follow. Instead of adhering to social norms, the LGBT community can use pride month to voice their unique opinions and ideas.
Fight Adversity
Finally, the founders and company have fought much adversity in the past few years as Gabbana’s comments and Dolce and Gabbana’s ideas on in-vitro fertilization have stirred the pot. They draw on timeless looks and top them off with modern features. That allows them to keep up their successful designs and is the peak of perseverance. In the height of pride month, the LGBT community needs to draw on the inspiration provided by the company and continue to fight for gay and human rights.
