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.

You blaspheme the gospel for the sake of your own proud, warped theology. The curses your imaginary God wishes (they’re Satan’s not God’s) will come upon you unless and until you repent and this is not a threat, it’s a warning coming from God’s own words and ways.

Not just crazy, LJ. Blasphemous, and what’s more empirically disproven both in scripture and in the world. The anger of God burns against such naysayers who “think God is like them.”

Yes indeed. A vile “idea” of God which has nothing to do with the real Person. How could anyone love such a hateful being? They cannot. God wants us to love Him, not cower in terror or feel in despair that “I am damned forever no matter what”.

“Gays” are Squeaks!!!!

http://blog.walksoftlyfilms.com/2012/04/squeak-gays-big-news-wednesday.html

It’s a shame that people who called “gays” Queers even 20 years ago are denied government appointments, jobs, etc.

http://www.truth-out.org/archive/item/44234-bush-pick-for-appeals-court-called-gays-queers

So we all have to go around apologizing to the “gays”—and to the muslims, too—begging them to forgive us so that we can have a life. PHOOEY!!!!

You're welcome.

If you're interested, here's something else on “The Pink Swastika” - from the person who debunked the bible of leftwing permissiveness, “The Kinsey Report” and exposed its pervert author. She gives kudos to the work linked on my prior post (giving a good summary) and adds a few additional angles.

I'd like to know why this subject was broached to begin with.

Were some homo-promoters trying to get Barilla to feature fake, pedophile-run "families" in their commercials? Otherwise, why was the president's denunciation given?

The fags still won't buy his product - dis them once, and you've committed the unpardonable sin.

All they will do is demand penance which will then never be accepted as making anything right, and they will insist that the company be transformed into a homo-propaganda machine that just happens to make pasta.

More than likely, the Gaystapo dug up the identities of Barilla's suppliers and, many being less courageous against the homo-mafia, used extreme terrorist tactics against them until they told Barilla that no more supplies until he apologized.

To begin with, he said nothing offensive, IMO. Second, this backwards apology will do nothing to placate gays. Third, who gives a damn about what the president of a pasta company thinks about anything.

Every time gays start a boycott I consider it my civic duty to start using that product and go to Facebook and give it a "like."

When such companies begin paying tribute to the Gay Molech, you'd better start caring. It's why I dumped any products and services connected with AT&T.

FTA: - I have the utmost respect for gay people and for everyone's right to express themselves. I've also said -- and I would like to reiterate -- that I respect gay marriages.

Oh well...back to American Beauty as soon as my boxes of Barilla run out. Too bad, a-hole.

Apparently you only read the excerpt. See the line I quoted above from the link. He “respects gay marriage.”

I read the article. This controversy is another media fabrication.
