Social Networks Force Barilla Chairman To Apologize For His Anti-gay Remarks 456
ifchairscouldtalk writes "Pasta maker Barilla is in hot water over its chairman's anti-gay comments. Guido Barilla said his brand would 'never feature gays in ads' because Barilla does not agree with them. He added, '[if gay people] like our pasta and our advertising, they'll eat our pasta, if they don't like it then they will not eat it and they will eat another brand.' Vehement protest worldwide calling for a boycott of Barilla products via Twitter and Facebook forced the chairman to apologize with a video on Facebook."

I sent off my little missive to Barilla corporate yesterday.
Sometimes apologies don't mean shit. It's far more important to know what people really believe. And to remember it.

The people pushing the gay agenda are as rabid as any religious group. Be gay if you want. I'm all about personal freedom. Just stop trying to make the rest of the world gay, too. Tolerance != acceptance.

I will be sure to buy only Barilla pasta from now on.
He has his opinion and that's all, after-all it is his business.
Why should eveyone bow to whatever gays say.
Because of their constant bull shit I went from being open minded to not supporting them.
I think they should shut the fuck up and let other's have their opinions.
