Ben & Jerry's Gets Yummy And Gay!
In celebration of the historic development that beginning today gay and lesbian couples can marry in the state of Vermont, Ben & Jerry's has come up with a special ice cream name.
The company has renamed their yummy Chubby Hubby flavor to Hubby Hubby for the entire month of September.
The company states:
"Ben & Jerry’s has a long history of commitment to social justice, including gay rights. Its partnership with Freedom to Marry, a national leader in the movement for marriage equality, aims to raise awareness of the importance of marriage equality and to encourage other states to follow the blazing trails of Vermont, Massachusetts, Connecticut, Iowa, and Maine.
Ben & Jerry’s aims to raise awareness of the importance of marriage equality and, to show its support, will serve “Hubby Hubby” sundaes in Vermont Scoop Shops throughout the month of September."
Even Ben & Jerry's CEO, Walt Freese, is speaking out. He says, “At the core of Ben & Jerry’s values, we believe that social justice can and should be something that every human being is entitled to. From the very beginning of our 30 year history, we have supported equal rights for all people. The legalization of marriage for gay and lesbian couples in Vermont is certainly a step in the right direction and something worth celebrating with peace, love and plenty of ice cream.”
We're sure not everyone will agree, but we're definitely happy that B&J is setting such a good public example.
Showing your support for equality is always good!

Re: shellmarie – Sad Marie you hope Ben and Jerry's goes out of business because they support equal rights. That is sad. If it offends you so much don't buy it - more for the rest of us. My dad went today and it's already sold out at our Von's!
why?
Lol, W.O.W.
Thanks Ben & Jerry's!
Ben & Jerry's always has a great sense of humor.
I hope Hubby Hubby is a big hit. All their ice cream is yummy delicious.
Does anyone else find it amusing/ironic that the Hubby Hubby flavor includes chocolate-covered filled pretzel rods? LOL
brainchild: LOL! That would have been funny!
Re: raymFF – They did. It's called "phish food"…
It has fudge-covered peanut-butter-filled pretzel logs. At least they weren't fudge-covered cream-filled pretzel logs! LOL
Maybe they'll dedicate Phish Food to the lesbians?
fuck these 2 smelly hippies. i will NEVER buy this ice cream again.
Who at Ben and Jerrys felched out this flavour?
Bravo Ben & Jerry's!!
mmmmm yummmy for tummy
Re: candycaynegirl – oh really? God is the ultimate and final judger. don't forget.
"Showing your support for equality is always good."
…. unless it's a naked chick with DUCT TAPE on her nipples and NOH8 on her cheeks, right?
You hypocritical dirtbag.
why dont they make a straight icecream?
Re: scottyk –
well said.
im sure we all applaud the effort and all….
butttt this might not be such a good idea honestly.
re: buck. Nice name, redneck! You are the reason people shouldn't breed. Let alone educate children. Hah, you said "educate"…
yay Vermont! yay Ben & Jerrys! i'm very proud of my state and happy to see it on your site Perez
did someone say fudge packed pretzels, i can't say the name without laughing
AWESOME! Telling all my friends to buy some and support ben & jerry's…
IT MUST SUCK TO BE A HOMOPHOBE IN 2009…..you are being outnumbered! Gay is the new hot and gays aren't going anywhere anytime soon!
Love it!
Love it, I'm buying some.
I love it!!
Re: imsoregistered –
You're just a moron for not letting people live the way they want. It's not your concern who wish to parade or not ot marry or not. Mind your own business is all people are asking.
fuck the name and political angle. that ice cream sounds fucking amazing
Where's the Crisco???
Awesome! I love that we are moving in the right direction! But I can't help but giggle @ fudge covered pretzels for a gay ice cream…
Tooo bad we don't have this in Holland……………..I'm sure that it taste more than good!!
Wow…. maybe creating a new flavor with out the "fudge", The bullet shaped pretzel, and the peanut butter oozing outta the center would have been better.
Re: Vexation – It's quite obvious in your rush to judge someone (ironic isn't it?) that you would even REMOTELY take what I said as not being for any of it. I've said EXACTLY the opposite, but it doesn't matter one bit - if you are FOR rights or not and your post proves my point. That you'd rather call people names, complain about them and do nothing to further the agenda, but rather block anyone out of the "club", even if they want to help. Thank you for proving my point - that if you are white and straight, no matter what you do or say or even AGREE with, it's racist or homophobic.
This is actually pretty cool!
Some of you are SO stupid. They did not invent this flavor for the gay community. It was already called CHUBBY HUBBY and they simply changed it to HUBBY HUBBY for a limited time to commemerate gays being allowed to get married in Vermont. No big fucking deal. There is no double entendre with the FUDGE, it was already an ingredient in there. Nobody needs a STRAIGHT ice cream, that is just retarded. What the hell is wrong with some of you?
Sign me up for a Gallon>>>
Re: ERRRBOOO – yes really. That's exactly what I said.
Hope you're ready to have an answer for Him when he points out the clear instructions to "judge not lest ye be judged". Good luck with that.
Did they really have to have those ingredients that are similar to … you know? Jesus …

Excellent!!
Re: Aussieone – oh dont be mean to my doggie. It must suck to be an Aussie though.
Re: candycaynegirl – I will not be jugded for being a homosexual because I am not one, I will be jugded for other things, as I am a sinner just like you and everyone else, but I can thank God that he sent his Son Jesus to die for my sins and the sins of the world, I hope you ask forgiveness for your sins as I have done for mine.
Re: ERRRBOOO –
No nothing at all sucky about being an Aussie but it must be really suck for you worshiping your false god living your life based on stupid mythology. Spending all your time hating on people who are gay! HOW SAD REALLY.
SO PATHETIC.
Re: Aussieone – sad and pathetic to love God? Jjust because I disagree with certain lifestyles does not mean I hate them, I don't hate anyone not even Aussies. And Jesus and God both still love you even though you refuse to accept the truth.
Re: ERRRBOOO –
I never wrote you are sad and pathetic to love your myth of god. I wrote your :"sad and pathetic to spend all your time hating on people who are gay." *
I did write :"it must be really suck for you worshiping your false god living your life based on stupid mythology" and I believe it.. You must know its all fake and you are selective in which part of the bible you believe in and which you dont. You wouldnt sell your daughter into slavery would you ? When some plays for a persons life your great book says whatever you ask in prayer, you will receive, if you have faith.What a load! Science and history prove your god is false.

You wrote: "I disagree with certain lifestyles does not mean I hate them"
*
What you call a lifestyle is that persons right to love… Should they all pretend to be straight and live a life without love. To you the world would be better if they all just lived a lie…. Played straight hurting those they fake interest in just to please you and your god myth. Fuck Off
*
People are who they are and have every right to love and to be loved by one who loves them. You and your false god have no right to deny them love.
*
How are you at maths ? Zero times anything is ? Your Jesus and God dont exist so they cant love anything. Its like me teling you Santa, the easter bunny and the silver surfer love you. Doesnt mean shit does it ?!
We even heard about this in Texas. Go, Y'all!
Why did they come up with fudge, pretzels, peanut butter for the flavor? It sounds like a gross combination.
They should have come up with something fruity and colorful.
