I find it even funnier that 6 homosexuals not buying dried pasta is referred to as a "boycott."

That seems to be a pretty common occurrence.

Anti-gay poster accuses homosexuals of doing something. Homosexuals mostly wonder WTH they're blathering on about, then go back to their normal, boring lives.

People need to learn that a small, vocal minority does not represent an entire group of people.

I don't know, I never bought Barilla pasta but I think I will start. I can't stand the bullying tactics by the LGBT people.

I've never heard of this company, but if it upsets leftists, I'll look them up.

Sounds like the CEO found an easy way to get publicity and sales.

Why are people still discussing this?

The company has backtracked and issued an apology.

Yup, that's exactly what it is, bullying. I mean, had the Barilla guy said that he would never have a Jew on a commercial, I would have of COURSE run right to the store to buy the pasta because, hey, I just love putting money in the pockets of those who dislike me for what I am.

I do, but remember that freedom of speech isn't absolute, right?

Sure you do...there are consequences.

Taking Mr. Barilla's advice that gay people not to buy his pasta is bullying? How?
