Yo Guido! My cousin Scott, a gay man (and I should also add - a fabulous human being), posted on his Facebook page a story from the Huffington Post that said that you as chairman of the Barilla Group will not feature gay families in advertisements.

Think about the life you are willing to exchange for it…
Some of my students dreamed up the term "CAROL-ING" to denote when a person is worrying about risk. It is a backhanded homage to me, but I'll accept it graciously if it means that they are using my name to herald the behavior. I do lecture them endlessly about risk - it is part of [...]
