Most people, especially activists, recognize their differences with others rather than what they have in common and that leads to frustration more than persuasion.

More quotes by Dan Mathews
Most people are sensitized to animals through their cats and dogs, but for me it was a flounder. I used to go fishing with my dad as a kid and always felt bad about yanking these panic-stricken creatures from the water. I stopped eating fish as an adolescent and went vegan at twenty.
Dan Mathews
I've always thought it would be fun to have a vegan campaign aimed at gays called Don't be a Dairy Queen.
Dan Mathews
As someone who was gay bashed as a kid, I learned firsthand how a lot of people only feel good about themselves when they sense that someone or something is on a lower rung than they are. This inferiority complex drives racism and sexism as well as outdated attitudes about animals.
Dan Mathews
Back in the eighties, people thought a vegan was someone from Vegas. It's a different world now and I feel lucky to have been a part of the revolution, both for animal rights and gay rights.
Dan Mathews
We will be just as ruthless as any of our targets. We will go for the throat.
Dan Mathews
I've never dated anyone because they were vegetarian, just like I'm gay but don't only go to gay bars. I hang out with people because they are fun, smart, and kind, and if they happen to be veg I'm thrilled.
