FYI: This ☝️. This is why people don’t like the lgbtq+ movement. It has nothing to do with who you’re attracted to or what gender you feel you are and has everything to do with the militantly self-righteous, condescending, preachy, holier-than-thou attitude you run around with.

Sincerely,

A gay guy who doesn’t make it my whole personality

As a queer person I’ve read plenty of comments like these. It’s a common fallacious argument against liberatory movements that people who perpetuate the status quo use to defend their indifference to injustice by deflecting blame onto the people who call out their complicity. If you see veganism not as a lifestyle but as a movement for the libration of animals everything clicks.
