  1. Refusing to advertise for gays is not discrimination. There are lots of
    groups that are not actively, if ever even, shown in commercial. Many
    people not depicted in commercials still buy the advertised products

  2. I GUESS I WON’T BE BUYING THIS PASTA NO LONGER ,AND AS FOR HIS COMMENT I’LL
    TAKE HIS ADVICE,HE’LL BE EATING HIS WORDS 

  3. There are no reasons to discriminate, only excuses. If you feel that any
    group of people should be treated with less respect than everyrone else,
    see a doctor, because you’re clearly sick.

  4. the faggots always complain about being discriminated against, yet there
    is a lot of discrimination within their community. “no butch lesbians.
    no asians. no one over 40. no femmes.” etc. what do u call that?
    what makes them think they should receive special treatments? double
    standards! 

  5. His values are his. I’m not going to stop eating Barilla’s pasta because of
    his opinion. Just like I won’t stop watching TV because of opinions on
    there. My opinion is eat what you like and be you.

  6. Excluding any group of people on the basis of “family values” is still
    bigotry. Don’t blame God, He doesn’t exist. YOU are the bigot. Be proud of
    your ignorant hatred or be ashamed. You can’t be both. If you proudly
    proclaim your bigotry, accept the consequences.

    For Barilla a proud stance on discrimination means a drop in profits. If
    they don’t mind the loss of business, let them be bigots!

    It’s not against the law to b an asshole, but it WILL hurt your bsiness!

  7. he has the right to choose what represents best the image his company that
    he OWNS wants to show its consumers, he does not want criminals i am sure,
    he does not want pot heads i am sure, he does not want transgender queens
    etc. all his right to do, so suck it bitch**s..

  8. I tend to see more ads for Ronzoni. I eat a lot of pasta and the only brand
    of dry pasta on the grocery store shelves that I would even compare to
    Barilla is Di Cecco, and Di Cecco is a distant comparison at best. I love
    the white fiber Barilla pasta, and the Barilla conchiglie rigate is the
    only variety that gets the shape and size right.

  9. He never said it was ridiculous not to buy the pasta he said it’s
    ridiculous to boycott. And YES making a statement REGARDLESS of whether or
    not you find it unnecessary is freedom of speech. He can say what ever the
    fuck he wants to say because this is America, and people shouldn’t be able
    to harass him about him. If they want to stop buying the product go ahead
    but don’t mess with him because of his views. I support gays but i also
    support FREEDOM of speech.

  10. He didn’t really say DON’T EAT OUR PASTA he said if you disagree with him
    you don’t have to buy his pasta. Just because he wants to portray his
    beliefs doesn’t mean everyone must go into an outrage over it. People
    believe what they believe. Whatever. That’s the world. Live it.

  11. It’s selfish to adopt kids? You’d rather let the tens of millions of
    orphans worldwide be without a loving home? Have you ever seen “orphanages”
    in Third World countries? Obviously not. Grow the fuck up!

  12. Well i guess i won’t be eating any of his pasta. What he said was offensive
    not only to gays but to others. I guess a gay couple, or single mother with
    children or a grandmother raising children, or gay couple raising children
    isn’t a family. What are they then? I’m not sure why people are so hateful.
    i just don’t get it. Why break a person down when u can build them up and
    live happily in life. Why all the hate?

  13. Shut up moron..no one really cares about what you have to say. Go cry to
    your mommy. Maybe she’ll actually listen!

  14. FUCK traditional family values!! It’s already been well documented and
    admitted that gays are more intelligent people, typically because we’re
    more well educated, more sexually aware, more loving and committed, more
    honest and ethical, make far better parents (than straights) and far more
    compassionate toward other people’s needs, than any orientation combined!
    Facts are facts, you cannot deny or explain away facts! Your hate-speech
    toward loving gays proves we’re more righteous than you BIGOTS!

  15. Than stop your bigotry against Mr. Guido Barilla…… he do anything to
    hurt you…. but you gays would probably slice his throat and rape him if
    you could….. BIGOTS!

  16. Where did I say that people weren’t entitled to their opinion? There is a
    difference between saying you don’t support something and being against it.

  17. FYI, puberty is a process. In hot, sunny countries, such as mine, the onset
    of menarche can be as young as 8 or 9 years. The crushes that kids develop
    are sexual in nature, but not usually recognised as such. The violent
    attraction exists, they know not why. I was mad keen on boys and their
    company years before I knew the facts of life. I had no interest whatsoever
    in my own sex, and still don’t. It wasn’t ever a choice- it was a
    biological imperative.

  18. judging by your comment history on this video, you’re not worth trying to
    make a meaningful response.

  19. HA HA HA You’re completly delusional & comical at the same time. If “loving
    gay community” would have a right to specify a person with a different
    opinion as “subspecies” and “lined up and shot” for express views, it
    certianly wouldn’t be a “perfect world”. It would be HOMOFASCISM. You have
    some serious problems with logical thinking and growing vile hate inside
    you. In addition, you didn’t answer my question. Have you had some accident
    that damaged your brain? Increase the dose of drugs.

  20. what did the Barilla owner say that was wrong? He likes a traditional
    family, mother father and children living under the same household. given
    that only 45% of children live under these conditions (with their
    biological married parents), I don’t find fault with what he said. He
    didn’t say he hate gays or that they deserve less rights or anything of the
    sort

  21. When Mr. Barilla made the distinction between what kind of families he
    supports he was contextualizing a negative to those who he felt were not
    under the guise of “traditional” whatever that means in a modern world! He
    is a homphobic piece of crap because I’d venture to say he is sexist piece
    of crap too!! Sacred Family means what and what is meaning of “Fundamental
    values of the company” these nice neutral words that mean nothing unless
    they’re explained in what medieval Italian country side!

  22. If I were trolling I’d be on CoD trailers and fanboy-made Pewdiepie videos.

  23. Freedom of speech yes, Freedom to put my money where I want, yes also. So
    will I pick Barilla on a shelf? NO

  24. And the fact that you told me you had ” mad crushes ” on boys at the age of
    11 (before the stages of puberty and sexual arousal), further proves my
    point that being gay is a choice. Thanks.

  25. I will now buy more Barilla Products! Thank you Barilla for standing up for
    what is right!

  26. You have the right to be a BIGOT. The consequences of your bigotry must
    also be accepted. Enjoy your isolation in a world where HATE is not a
    family value!

  27. Well they are Gay… So their logic is kinda fucked up to begin with… And
    you’re right you’d think they’d be boycotting Iranian Oil / exports since
    that country still PUBLICLY EXECUTES homosexuals without trial….. But
    yeah instead lets cry about some Guido who doesn’t want gay boys in his
    Pasta ads……… #LogicFail
