LGBT groups are calling for a boycott of Barilla pasta after its president told an Italian radio program he would not portray non-straight couples in the company’s ads because they diverged from his idea of the “classic family.” Guido Barilla suggested LGBT people who do not like the ads or the pasta could try another brand. He has since apologized for his remarks.
