From the president of Barilla pasta:
"I would never do [a commercial] with a homosexual couple, not for lack of respect but because we don't agree with them," said Guido Barilla, according to a Reuters translation. "Ours is a classic family where the woman plays a fundamental role. … If [gays] don't like it, they can go eat another brand."
Discriminatory Pasta!
Also, women play a pretty fundamental role in our gay family. Just sayin'....
And so with that, I offer to you the following pastas that do not carry hate along with their carb-filled goodness. Make a statement with your wallet, dear readers!

Market Pantry from Target Corp, 100 CEI score

Relive your childhood with a bowlful of Chef Boyardee from ConAgra Food, a 95 percenter on the CEI, and tell yourself, “Thank goodness for Chef Boyardee."

Hain Celestial Group, the parent company that owns both Rosetto and DeBoles, scored a 90 percent on the CEI. Hain Celebrial Group focuses on natural and organic foods, so it’s good for your health, too.
Macaroni Grill from General Mills, 100 CEI score
And if you find yourself in the mood for carbs on-the-go, why not opt for Macaroni Grill? This 100 percenter is owned by General Mills, a long time supporter of LGBT equality.
