PETA Says “Anti-Animal” Language Is Like Homophobia

\u201cJust as it became unacceptable to use racist, homophobic, or ableist language, phrases that trivialize cruelty to animals will vanish as more people begin to appreciate animals for who they are and start \u2018bringing home the bagels\u2019 instead of the bacon.\u201d

\u201cThanks for trivialising centuries of oppression imposed upon queer people like myself, PETA. Next time someone calls me a faggot on the street, I'll be sure to think of all the birds being figuratively killed by stones and realise how unimportant my problems really are.\u201d

\u201c@peta You can definitely tell that peta does not have any people of color, queer people, or differently abled people working for them...\u201d

\u201c@peta Hi, I'm a queer and disabled human who loves my animals dearly and I think it's pretty fucking gross to compare homophobia and ableism to animal cruelty. I'm white and can't experience racism so I'll stay in my lane there, but seriously, PETA, wtf.\u201d
