Gay and vegan in the burbs (of Los Angeles). I blog about veganism, equality, compassion, activism, politics, spirituality and the awesome life experiences of The Gay Vegans. The "s" includes my husband, Mike! I believe that we all have more in common than not and that we all have the power to be the voice of the voiceless. I want this blog to be a tool for me to build bridges amongst communities and those with differing opinions.

Our first ever dog and cat food drive!
I am ecstatic to let you all know that The Gay Vegans are having our first ever dog and cat food drive! After a lot of consideration around who we would support with a blog-wide effort and how, we have decided to collect dog and cat food as well as cash for Animal Haus, a local Denver non-profit that gives away dog and cat food to those who would otherwise not be able to fee their companion animals.
The great thing about this effort is that you do not need to live in Denver to support us. We will have collection spots for you and your friends to drop off the food, and those who want to support us who do not live n the Denver area can simply go to this website animalhaus.org and make a donation. A little goes a long way.
I know that through the support of our blog readers and supporters that we can make a HUGE difference for those struggling with finances to care for their companions. Imagine what a difference a donation of food makes to a guardian who is experiencing really tough financial times, and in some cases might even be considering bringing their beloved into a shelter!
WE can make the difference.
Please spread the word. I will post all of the current details here. This will be a two-week effort. We can change the lives of families who truly want to keep and care for their companions, they are just having really difficult times.
The Gay Vegans dog and cat food drive
November 16 - 30, 2013
Donations can be dropped off at Urban Peak Monday - Friday from 8am - 5pm.
Donations of vegan dog and cat food can be purchased at Nooch Vegan Market at 34th and Larimer and placed in the Animal Haus bin.
In the west metro area? You can drop off at our home in northeast Lakewood. Just email for directions.
More information to come and hopefully more drop off locations. If you know of a Denver area pet food store that would let us hang out one day and ask customers to donate food, please let me know.
Thank you all so much. Stay tuned for updates!

Every human anatomy must enjoy dog because puppy love is a good virtue.Every time you will find creatures which can be abused and forgotten by heartless individuals.We stay by the offer,“Your pet dog is really a man's most readily useful friend”.But how can it be that you can do such terrible items to a closest friend? Pup generators, dog hoarders,and reckless homeowners are merely a several greatest contributors to the horrifically offender act. It pauses my center to operate a vehicle to college daily and be greeted by a dog out on your way flatter than the usual pancake,or perhaps wandering about searching for leftovers of food and darting out any time only a little baby stays their go out and shouts,“Oh, just what a lovely doggy!” And about wherever I stay it's,unfortunately,a regular scene.
