Guido Barilla meets with LGBT Activists

This pasta story has legs.

After his hateful message went viral, Guido Barilla has been on the apology tour. Recently he met with LGBT activists Arcigay, Arcilesbica, Famiglie Arcobaleno, Franco Grillini, Gaynet and Equality Italia associations.

In this meeting, Guido apologized for his stupidity and talked about his fears of an American boycott. I think he's a little late for that, but truth be told... He may not lose much (just being honest).

He claims that his company will do a pro-gay campaign in the future, but no date or plans were given. Hopefully, the activists that met with Guido, holds him accountable.

Interesting Quote: Barilla Pasta chairman Guido Barilla - UPDATE

“I would never do an advert with a homosexual family…if the gays don’t like it they can go an eat another brand. For us the concept of the sacred family remains one of the fundamental values of the company. Everyone has the right to do what they want without disturbing those around them. I have no respect for adoption by gay families because this concerns a person who is not able to choose."

I guess we ain't buying Barilla anymore.

UPDATE- he apologizes... Kinda
