the way the author says “the gays” belies his bias.

I think he was bringing up the argument against renaming Chubby Hubby to Hubby Hubby because all the NOM women don’t have a hubby at all. He’s out in those sex clubs getting it up the poop shoot. They need to turn to something to get their feelings soothed since they aren’t getting dick from their actual husband.

B&J are not entering politics by celebrating same sex marriage. It’s only the homophobes who define a pro gay stnce as taking a side. If B&j had put a het couple on their label and called it wifey hubby, it would have been noted as just a marriage themed label and not controversial at all. So basically Oliver needs to learn a thring or two about the gay rights movement prior to putting his words out there.

Didn’t Ben & Jerry’s also have ads supporting gay marriage on the New York City transit system?

@Edd: Lazy, senationalist “journalism” on Queerty since the current webmaster took over? I’m shocked!

And yet people hardly say anything about Oberweis. That company mixes hate with ice cream like hot fudge and bananas in a split.

I live in MI, a pretty homophobic state, and after the name change all of a sudden (big surprise) the formerly ‘Chubby Hubby’ is NOWHERE to be found at any of the grocery chains I frequent. This level of homophobia is just so stupid (especially as that B&J flavor is my favorite and I can no longer get it!)

I love that B&J are supporting gay marriage!
I hate that people OF COURSE have to over react and be ridiculous.
Can’t everyone just do their own thing in the world?

@Edd: Agreed. A distortion in the interest of pageviews. @Smelda: Huh? Go distract yourself with something shiny.

One of my friends gave this ice cream to her co-workers (up in Jersey) and they are now so fat that they can never vote for gay weddings or nothing.
FAIL.

I TREATED 6 OF MY CO-WORKERS TO BEN AND JERRY’S HUBBY HUBBY.

It sure was worth of my goddamn money. All of them now support the gays.

You CAN win people over via good food and an filled stomach. I would continue to support businesses like BJ’s Hubby-Hubby.

did you read the article? it actually agrees with the companies sentiment and is actually posing a question about whether or not its good for food businesses to make political statements. So calling it a backlash is pretty lazy journalism
