5 days agoI had a similar interaction once. I was dating someone new and I was meeting her friends. So the topics of food and drinks came up. I expressed how I didn’t eat meat or drink alcohol. It seemed kind of strange to them . They started asking if there was some traumatic event that happened. Then the girl I was dating came out and just said “he’s vegan straight edge” And just like that they totally understood. Mind you these were people that were not in the scene, but were familiar through other people. It was the first time that I realized how powerful the term “Vegan Straightedge” was.
