What a lot of fuss about nothing, if this company want to portray a "classic" family then that's their business. If people don't like it then don't buy the Pasta.

This is another slightly worrying example of not being able to say anything which could be even remotely construed as anti-gay. It's as if we are not even allowed to have an opinion on this subject.

But in a very traditional highly Catholic country millions of Italians do have an opinion and it probably falls more along the traditional Church doctrine of Man + Women + Children = Family
