Get fat and show your pride!

In recognition of the legalization of gay marriage in Vermont Ben & Jerry's has renamed its ice cream Chubby Hubby to Hubby Hubby for one month. Working with rights group Freedom to Marry, the company will promote the ice cream across Vermont in Ben & Jerry's shops.

A Ben and Jerry's wedding truck will also cross Vermont, giving out free Hubby Hubby.

Walt Freese, chief executive officer of Ben & Jerry's said: "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."

Now gay couples can slowly grow fat together. Ahhh, love.
