Though not in NYC, we loved virtually following the Big Gay Ice Cream Truck all summer long, make sure you don’t miss it this summer.
THE BIG GAY ICE CREAM TRUCK we hear tastes as good as it looks. One post on their site has a description of the “Monday Sunday is a waffle cone lined with Nutella, twist ice cream, Dulce de Leche, sea salt, and whipped cream.”
The Yogurt Stop on Santa Monica in West Hollywood is the best yogurt in town, hands down! Make sure you try for yourself and tell them about hearing about them on Equal Junction.
One of the coolest looking little eateries on the blvd. The skinny: the lady owners have committed fully to equality while creating some of the most creative and delicious yogurts you’ll eva’ taste. Flavors like Milk My Harvey Chocolate, Cappuccino Crush On U, Get Lucky Irish Mint-yogurt’s with sass flavor and soul.
In October of 2009, Pepsi contributed $500,000 to support PFLAG (Parents, Family & Friends of Lesbians and Gays)!!!

Pepsi understands the importance of creating a work environment that makes EVERYONE equal.

From the great equality partners at Apple. The iPad debuted earlier this year in San Francisco. We’ve been drooling with anticipation over the date announcement for awhile.
The iPad will have a 1GHz Apple A4 processor, 9.7 in IPS display, up to 64 GB, 0.5 inches thin, and only 1.5 pounds. With a battery of with 10 hours of charge and A MONTH of standby. “Holding the internet in your hand” Steve Job’s said- check out the video here.
Kraft Foods an ally for equality recently penned a deal over Cadbury’s sale for over $19.6 Billion. This will create the largest confectionery company in the world and is getting everyone involved over the stir. There will be layoffs as redundancy’s are a result of any merger, hopefully more jobs will be created with the creation of new products. We love the Cadbury Egg’s in concept, but have you ever eaten one? Candy is a delicate process as we’ll show you in our upcoming Valentine’s Day Vlog on how to make Chocolate roses. Learn more about the deal here.
