Ben & Jerry's Celebrates Vermont Gay Marriage with "Hubby Hubby"

Ben & Jerry's will do a good thing by changing Chubby Hubby's name to "Hubby Hubby" to recognize September as the first month in which same-sex marriages will be performed in Vermont. It's also good that Ben & Jerry's supported the movement earlier this year to get the bill for same-sex marriage to become law. Progressive states are where many bright employees and other businesspeople like to be, rather than states where intolerance is justified.

I didn't believe there was any way to make Ben and Jerry's more appealing than it already is. Guess I was wrong! :)

Yum! I just tried their Key Lime limited edition the other night. It's divine.

Chubby Hubby has always been one of my favorite flavors, though, and I fully support the name change!

I suspect it's nothing to do with marketing, contrary to what Angela states -- it's all about support, and I admire Ben & Jerry's for their activism and their generosity.

What Angela means to say IMO is that Ben and Jerry's is honoring gay people. EWWW! No, honoring something like gay marriage is healthy.

BTW you notice that she never posted here again?
