Barilla President Apologizes for Comments About Gays
ABC ^ | 9/26/13 | By SUSANNA KIM

Posted on 09/26/2013 3:13:33 PM PDT by barmag25

The president of Barilla is apologizing for saying that he would never use a gay family in the pasta maker's ads.

Guido Barilla said in an Italian radio interview that his pasta is for the traditional family and said gay people could eat another pasta if they did not like his message.

"We accept his invitation to not eat his pasta," said Aurelio Mancuso, president of gay-rights group Equality Italia, in a statement in Italian.

Boycotting Twitter users shared the hashtag #boicottabarilla, or "boycott Barilla."

But Barilla quickly walked back his comments.

Well, one thing is that we need to come to a godly perception of the homosexuality problem. That’s often treated as some kind of sui generis issue, getting people to make all manner of overreactions that have to then get walked back for the sake of, yes, truth — but the gospel forbids that kind of treatment. The same salvation that can give power to stand against the kind of bodily abuse represented by smoking, can give power to stand against the kind of bodily abuse represented by buggery. When did we ever get the arrogance to say that any sin, except for refusing salvation altogether, is bigger than God’s salvation? That sure spits in God’s face.

God CAN save them it's just that he WON'T. He created most of humanity to be defective and worthless lunatics with no hope of repair. We should remove ourselves entirely from their presence and let the vermin ROT in their own pit of misery and disease. Snuff out any love in your heart. Even if your own child is overcome by this perversion, they are as good as dead. Nobody ever said that Earth was a happy place.

The funny thing about what the faggots have done is that had they been less obnoxious they might have made more....errr....headway.

20 years ago my libertarian instincts basically governed my thinking on them. “Hey, let them do what they want so long as they leave me alone.”

I still basically feel that way, but their insistence on silencing all opposition and on demonizing those with normal healthy aversion to their illnesses has turned me around. I despise them.

"Gay Nazis? More like Gay Mafia."

But trying their hardest to be the former - with a solid if censored historical precedent.

The Pink Swastika: Homosexuality in the Nazi Party

"It has been several years since we published the fourth edition of this book. In that time we have accumulated a substantial amount of new documentation supporting our thesis that the Nazi Party was conceived, organized and controlled throughout its short history by masculine-oriented male homosexuals who hid their sexual proclivities from the public, in part by publicly persecuting one group of their political enemies: out-of-the-closet effeminate-oriented homosexuals aligned with the German Communist Party."

I’ve learned of a huge over imbalance of homosexuals in large circulation news media such as the New York Times, as much as 75% of the editorial staff.

I would like to call the owner of this pasta company and confirm he did indeed apologize. Because I have my doubts.

Why apologize ?

Queers make up less than 2 % of the population and do not gravitate to his brand anyway.

Its time for people to stop being intimidated and mau maued by the Rainbow Shirts of the Gaystapo and extorted by the enforcers of the Lavender Mafia and to stand up these. Thugs and neo fascists while we still can and before its too late

As a businessman, I would rather risk offending “Gay families” than risk offending straight families. The numbers just do not support any other course.

I was live and let live (as long as I never saw any or had interactions with them, as a teenager 2 of them “coming on” to me made me feel disgust and loathing for being around them) until I got educated in the latter half of the 1980s.

"It’s called money and gays in general have a lot of it."

Yes, but there aren't that many of them, despite what the media would have us believe.

Lord

No one stays firm

Nobody wants to be Maurice’s BBQ sauce

All part of the same war

I am so sick of men who lick one another fecally

And women who pretend to have penises
