Two pasta companies are sparring over gay rights after Barilla Chairman Guido Barilla told an Italian radio station on Wednesday that his company would never run an ad featuring a same-sex couple.
Bertolli Germany quickly responded with an ad that translates to "pasta and love for all," including pairs of the same types of pasta walking side-by-side down a spoon. The new ad, which was posted on Facebook, already has over 3,000 likes
