Mr. Barilla does state that he is in favor of gαy marriage, which at this time is illegal in Italy. He emphasized that Barilla wouldn't use a ɧoɱosɛҳųαƖ couple in advertising because "a woman plays a central role in the family." And that Barilla is a traditional family and business. Sounds like he is speaking out of both sides of his mouth.

Guido Barilla, chairman of the world's leading pasta manufacturer, has apologized via a Facebook video, a day after telling Italian radio his company would never use a gαy family in its advertising.

....

Barilla also said: "It is clear that I have a lot to learn about the lively debate concerning the evolution of the family." He pledged to meet with representative of the groups that "best represent the evolution of the family, including those who have been offended by my words."

Sounds like he's pretty concerned about loss of business. I won't be buying , either to eat or to donate.
