That Vegan Teacher: under fire by community

‘Animal rights activist’ thinks coming out as vegan is ‘much more special’ than coming out as LGBT+.

A vegan TikToker has come under fire after posting a video in which she said “coming out as a vegan animal rights activist” is more special than it is to come out as a member of the LGBTQ community.

That Vegan Teacher, also known as Miss Kadie, says she’s on TikTok “to help animals and all who are oppressed”. She has a whopping 1.7m followers, and her videos have received over 33.4m likes.

While most of her videos focus on supporting animal rights and eating a healthy diet, she’s come under fire for the controversial take that “coming out” as a vegan is “much more special” than coming out as LGBT+.

In a since-deleted TikTok, That Vegan Teacher issued a response to another user’s comment: “Coming out as vegan is not as special as coming out as gay/lesbian. I am lesbian myself. Vegan is a diet, not sexuality.”

She responded: “You’re absolutely wrong. Coming out as a vegan animal rights activist — as someone who cares beyond themself — is much more special than it is to come out as a member of the LGBTQ community. Coming out as a member of the LGBTQ community is an entirely selfish act. It’s talking about you only.

“It’s not talking about the things you’re going to do to better the world. Coming out as an animal rights activist is talking about the animals — others, not just you. In fact, it is a completely unselfish thing to do.”
