You wouldn't need a list if you had common sense.

I don't eat their products anymore. For a while now I've been eating whole Delallo pasta because its whole wheat and I've also used Rao's marinara sauce.

Reading their US Facebook page has been fun. A ton of support, and those that share Guido's views are quickly admonished.
There's one guy who claims he's homosexual supporting Guido, and his right to free speech. There's always one self hating queer in the bunch, isn't there?

There's always one... I love how people try to make this about the 1st Amendment. And by "love", I mean "I want to hit them"

It's not exported to the US but this controversy is even more intense in Italy. The caption here reads "We don't care who you make pasta with, as long as you cook it al dente!"

So let me get this straight...Barilla is asking gay folks to eat other people's noodles?

Their pasta always came out very slippery. Pretty easy product to boycott/ignore.
"Impossible is just a big word thrown around by small men who find it easier to live in the world they've been given than to explore the power they have to change it. Impossible is not a fact. It's an opinion. Impossible is not a declaration. It's a dare. Impossible is potential. Impossible is temporary. Impossible is nothing.”

Add me to the list of straight people who don't like it either.

Buitoni, which--unlike Barilla--apparently HAS a functioning P.R. Department, issued a statement saying:
“At Buitoni's house, there's a place for everyone.”

So--in that Bertolli ad: That's a gay (Pasta)couple dancing in the spoon, and a mixed-race Lesbian (pasta) couple with a baby boy next, and a str8 (pasta) couple walking a (pasta) dog?
Or am I reading too much into it???

I would assume the penne pasta are gay boys, but I don't know any lesbians that wear bowties....

Buitoni donates huge amounts of money to block GMO labeling.
I would t buy from them, either.

Uh oh add another to the list. Do we have any idea if any of these pasta companies pays high wages or are advertisi g in the Olympics or Fox TV or is sold at Walmart or employ underage workers or make their workers work OT?

In a world (as Don LaFontaine would have said...) where it seems that every message is scripted by PR departments, vetted by lawyers and tested by focus groups, and where every "off the cuff comment" and "candid" video is likely to be a carefully-orchestrated piece of a viral campaign, I find comments like Mr. Barilla's to be refreshing--a reminder that people do still have their own thoughts, feelings and opinions. I picture Guido as a bit of a deer in the headlights--too old-school to realize that the Social Media universe is waiting to pounce on anyone--no matter how isolated or insulated the forum in which they are speaking might appear to be.
Such moments of transparent candor, of course, are brief. The spin control machine goes into overdrive and the apologies--taken verbatim out of the Stock Apology Handbook--are issued--insincere, irrelevant and meaningless, except in the semiotics of Consumer Relations--and poor Guido is hustled off the public stage, never to return.
Had Guido told us that he, personally, didn't like the Gayz, I might still consider buying his pasta. But he made a point of telling me that--because I'm gay--I should buy another product. And so I will...
