Chubby Hubby consists of vanilla malt
ice cream swirled with fudge and peanut butter, and containing pretzel nuggets covered in fudge and filled with peanut butter. For
the month of September 2009, Ben and Jerry's, in partnership with Freedom to Marry, renamed Chubby Hubby to Hubby Hubby, in celebration of the legalization of same-sex marriage in the company's home state of Vermont. The carton featured the image of two men getting married
beneath a rainbow.
Ben & Jerry's, the iconic Vermont-based ice cream
maker, desired to celebrate Vermont's same-sex marriage unions in its home
state while reinforcing its longstanding commitment to social justice and
equality for all people despite race, ethnicity, religion, or sexual preference. The religious groups disagree on this
subject, because it is morally wrong.
“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.
Freedom to Marry promotes the national conversation about why marriage equality
matters and brings together partner organizations into a larger whole a shared
civil rights campaign.
I think nowadays is accepted in this regard. Every problem has its solution. And I believe that love is never wrong, because
love is a beautiful thing.
