Just about my favorite treat is ice cream. I don't care what flavor, I just love ice cream. But if the only brand available was Ben & Jerry's, I'd have to pass.
Walt Freese, the CEO of Ben & Jerry's renamed its Chubby Hubby flavor "Hubby Hubby" in celebration of Vermont legalizing gay marriage. Said Freese, "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." I'll take a double scoop of good old Texas-made Blue Bell Homemade Vanilla, please. And make it straight.
On the other side of the issue, I'll be buying Exxon gasoline whenever possible. They scored zero catering to homos. According to Daryl Herrschaft of the Human Rights Campaign Foundation, "Basically, what Exxon is saying is that if you come to work for us in the U.S. and you're gay, you get compensated less." Not true -- he's talking about spousal benefits, and if a homosexual marries a person of the opposite gender, he'll get every benefit every other Exxon employee gets. So fill 'er up with some good old Texas Exxon gas!
