Vegan Ellen DeGeneres “Out Magazine” Most Influential Gay
Written by Vegetarian Star on April 16th, 2010 in Pop Culture, TV Hosts.
Out magazine has compiled its annual “Most Influential Gay Men and Women” and vegan Ellen DeGeneres is number one on the list.
Besides her presence on television and activism for gay rights, Ellen’s impact on the animal rights movement is touched on as well in Out’s short description of why she topples the competition.
From Out:
“A passionate advocate for marriage equality, an avid opponent of “don’t ask, don’t tell,” and staunch defender of animal rights, DeGeneres’s enormous platform is many an American’s gain.”
Other notables who’ve made or are making contributions to the vegetarian and animal community are Project Runway’s Tim Gunn, who recorded an anti-fur PSA and frowns upon contestants who attempt to use it in competition.
Also, representative Jared Polis, who recently introduced the Healthy School Meals Act that will hopefully introduce more meat free and non dairy beverage options in school districts, is in the top 10.
