GAY MARRIAGE-ICE CREAM
WASHINGTON (AP) -- Jerry -- of Ben & Jerry's fame -- plans to add a sweet touch to a wedding in the nation's capital today. A gay wedding. Same-sex marriage became legal in Washington, D.C., this week. Keith Spangler-Vellios and Andreas Vellios plan to get hitched at a Ben & Jerry's ice cream shop in the Georgetown section of the city. Ice cream company co-founder Jerry Greenfield says he'll be there. Ben & Jerry's symbolically changed the name of its "Chubby Hubby" flavor to "Hubby Hubby" in 2009. That's when its home state of Vermont began recognizing same-sex marriages.
BREAST MILK CHEESE
NEW YORK (AP) -- Breast milk is for babies. That's according to the New York City health commissioner. The comment comes following a blog posting by a Manhattan chef about making cheese with his wife's breast milk. Daniel Angerer tells the New York Post he even gave samples of the "mommy milk cheese" to patrons at his Klee Brasserie restaurant. Health Commissioner Thomas Farley is all for breast milk -- for those still in diapers. He says human milk isn't for anyone who is not a baby.
BACHELOR PAD LAWSUIT
DAYTON, Ohio (AP) -- Advertising a "bachelor pad" is a no-no -- to a fair housing group. A suit filed in a Dayton, Ohio, federal court charges that listing an apartment as a bachelor pad amounts to discrimination. The ad on Craigslist said the pad would be just the thing for single guys looking to "hook up." The Miami Valley Fair Housing center is seeking at least $25,000 in damages. Staffers at the nonprofit center say the ad apparently discriminates on the basis of sex and family status. But officials with the property owner, The Connor Group, say they expect to be cleared.
MILK LION
LITTLE ROCK, Ark. (AP) -- How do you attract a big kitty? With a large dish of milk. The zoo in Little Rock, Ark. has a new male lion, two-year-old Bakari. Zookeepers had a tough time luring the big guy out of his indoor enclosure. So, they got milk. Bakari came out to lap up a large dish full of milk. He then tore the cartons apart. Officials at Coleman Dairy are impressed with the milk-loving lion. The dairy is donating more than 50-grand in cash and products to the Little Rock Zoo.
