Dolce & Gabbana have unveiled a new collection featuring same-sex couples on their bags and clothing, which some see as a cynical attempt to compensate for the designers' controversial comments last year criticizing IVF and same-sex families. The collection is receiving a mixed response, with some Instagram users criticizing the company for trying to fix the damage from their past statements. Advocates for the LGBT community also see the collection as a crowd-pleasing gesture rather than a sincere show of support. The timing of the new line comes just as Italy is set to vote on expanding rights for same-sex couples.
