Watch: Ben & Jerry's setzt sich Marriage Equality ein

Ben And Jerry's hat seine Shops in Australien angewiesen, keine zwei Kugeln des gleichen Geschmacks mehr zu verkaufen - der Grund: So lange Australien Marriage Eqaulity noch nicht eingeführt hat, so lange soll es für die Kunden auch keine zwei Kugeln des gleichen Geschmacks mehr geben.

Auf der Webseite nimmt Ben & Jerry's Stellung zu dieser Aktion:

In Australia, 72% of the population supports Marriage Equality, so why haven’t our leaders acted? Before the next parliamentary sitting on June 13th, it is time to stand up for fair and equal rights for all by letting our leaders know that we demand Marriage Equality!

Imagine heading down to your local Scoop Shop to order your favourite two scoops of Cookie Dough in a waffle cone. But you find out you are not allowed – Ben & Jerry’s has banned two scoops of the same flavour. You’d be furious! Don’t live near a scoop shop – no problem! You can sign up through the Equality Campaign’s website here.

But this doesn’t even begin to compare to how furious you would be if you were told you were not allowed to marry the person you love. So we are banning two scoops of the same flavor and encouraging our fans to contact their MPs to tell them that the time has come – make marriage equality legal! Love comes in all flavours!
