It's quite the change from 2015, when Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana stated their support for traditional families and suggested same-sex couples should not conceive children using in vitro fertilization.

The launch comes as Italian politicians are set to vote on a bill that would recognize same-sex unions and allow people in them to adopt their partners' biological children.
