May 25, 2017 (LifeSiteNews) — Ben & Jerry’s is banning its customers in Australia from ordering two scoops of the same ice cream flavor … until ‘gay’ marriage is legalized.
A statement on the Ben & Jerry’s Australian website begins, “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!” “But this doesn’t even begin to compare 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 flavour 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!”
At all of their 26 locations in Australia, Ben & Jerry’s is refusing orders from customers who want to indulge in two scoops of the same ice cream flavor. The policy, initiated Wednesday, is the company’s way of pressuring the Australian Parliament into a vote or a national plebiscite approving genderless “marriage.”
In addition to holding their customers’ appetites hostage and demanding they deny themselves double scoops of same flavor of ice cream, the company is asking them to sign an online petition found on the Ben & Jerry’s website.
Each of the Ben & Jerry’s locations has also provided bright red mailboxes and postcards so that customers can dash off a letter to a member of parliament, encouraging a vote to count genderless, non-conjugal, non-complementary couplings as marital unions.
