Gay rights groups are calling for a boycott of the world’s biggest pasta maker Barilla after the company’s chairman said he would never use homosexual couples in his advertisements.
Guido Barilla, whose firm has almost half the Italian pasta market and a quarter of that in the US, told Italy’s La Zanzara radio show last night: “I would never do an advert with a homosexual family…if the gays don’t like it they can go an eat another brand.
“For us the concept of the sacred family remains one of the fundamental values of the company.”
He added: “Everyone has the right to do what they want without disturbing those around them”. But then the pasta magnate upped the ante by attacking gay adoption. “I have no respect for adoption by gay families because this concerns a person who is not able to choose," he said.
Well that "traditional" family he's talking has changed. Not everyone looks the same. If someone has a family who's to judge what it's made up of? What makes your family's love any better? People like this make me sick.
I hate when people say stuff like this. I mean, sure if you believe in a "traditional" family that's okay for you, but you don't have to attack gays in the same process.
