What Do Conservatives Who Support Barilla’s Anti-Gay Comments Think About Gay People?
So, after the highly offensive comments made by the chairman of Barilla pasta went viral, Guido Barilla apologized for them, twice. He apologized for upsetting not only LGBT people, but for upsetting all people who were offended, including millions of straight allies.
And so, conservatives descended on him.
When he was being anti-gay, he had every right to voice his opinion, they said, but they had no problem depriving him of that same right when he saw fit to recognize his mistakes and apologize.
But it’s the LGBT community who are the bigots, who are intolerant?
Let’s take a walk through some of the comments made on Guido Barilla’s Facebook apology post. For every comment you see below, there are at least several more like them. And most of the comments on the post lambast Barilla for apologizing, and most are anti-gay.
If these people’s comments weren’t so incredibly offensive, they might almost be laughable.
As you’ll see, these conservatives think gays are “candyass pink skirt wearing fudge packers,” have “perverse lifestyles,” and don’t have “real families.”
It’s mind-blowing.
Guido Barilla saw fit to apologize. Will any of these people, who were so comfortable sharing their ignorance and hate with the world, also see fit to apologize? -The New Civil Rights Movement

50% Consider GOP Congressional Agenda Extreme; 46% Say Same of Democrats
As the federal government shutdown enters its fourth day, voters are slightly more likely to identify with President Obama and congressional Democrats. But a surprising problem for congressional Republicans is that nearly one-out-of-four still thinks they are too liberal.
The latest Rasmussen Reports national telephone survey finds that 33% of Likely U.S. Voters view President Obama in political terms as about the same as they are. Thirty-one percent (31%) say the same of the average Democrat in Congress, but only 23% feel that way about the average congressional Republican. –Rasmussen Report
