Fabulous Gay Vegan

Hey friends

For the past fifteen years some of you have been following me through ups and downs, through activism, celebrations, and also through my own personal challenges. One of the biggest struggles I have spoken openly about is compulsive eating disorder and the impact it has had on my health. This has never been easy to share, but honesty has always felt like the best way to stop myself carrying shame that doesn’t belong on my shoulders.

Just over a year ago I began using Mounjaro with medical support. In that time I have lost a significant amount of weight. The decision to make this change has been about more than numbers on a scale. My motivation is to protect both my physical and mental health, to do everything I can to avoid long term illnesses such as diabetes, and to reduce the chances of heart problems later in life. It has been a big adjustment, and I have tried to stay as transparent as possible on my blog, social channels, and podcast because I know many of you value that honesty and because it helps me feel less alone.

Now I find myself with a question for you. I am only one kilogram away from moving out of the obese category, according to NHS guidelines, and into the overweight category. I am not saying you will see me strutting down a Parisian catwalk anytime soon, but my appearance is already drastically different from how most of you have known me over the past few years and beyond.

That brings me to the name Fat Gay Vegan.

New Interview With FGV

I recently had the pleasure of being interviewed by the wonderful Jordi.

Jordi is someone I’ve known for many years. He is a vegan activist, a journalist, and an attendee of my FGV events.

Jordi has a new podcast/vlog series in which he interviews vegans while walking the streets before stopping for a cup of tea at a vegan or vegan-friendly cafe.

Three Years of Queer Open Mic

Three years ago, my friend Josh and I sat down and decided the London LGBTQ community needed something. We needed a place to express. To perform. To create. To listen. To connect. So we started Queer Open Mic.

That was back in 2022. We had no idea where it would go, but we knew what we wanted it to feel like. We wanted it to be safe. We wanted it to be welcoming. We wanted people to turn up with songs, poems, guitars, jokes, and voices.

And we wanted them to leave feeling like they’d been seen and that they belong.

Fast forward to 2025 and Queer Open Mic is still going strong. In fact, it’s thriving. We now call The Cock Tavern in Kennington our home. It’s a proper south London gay bar with heart, and it’s the perfect setting for a night that is all about lifting up community voices.

Gaza Destruction Is An Absolute Nightmare

You know me. I write about vegan pizza, social events, and eating snacks on trains.

I bang on about tofu like it’s going out of fashion and tell you when your local supermarket has added another fake meat to the shelves. I’m all about helping people feel celebrated in their compassionate choices.

But I don’t yell about not eating animals for the hell of it. I do it because I want to reduce my contribution to unnecessary suffering. Because I think kindness is political.

And that’s why I’m writing today.

A Blog Post About Absolutely Nothing

I have absolutely nothing to blog about today.

Not a thing. Nada. Zilch. I sat down in front of my laptop, stared at the screen for a bit, drank a cup of tea, stared at the screen some more, and then admitted the obvious. No inspiration. Not a single crumb of content. But here we are. You’re reading this. I’m typing this. We’re both involved now, so let’s make the best of it.

Back in My Day… Vegan Days of Old

Nowadays, being a vegan in the UK is easy.

You walk into your local supermarket and it’s all “suitable for vegans” this and “plant-based alternative” that. You can fill your basket with everything from laundry detergent to pasta sauce and spot the little vegan label with ease. Shampoo, toothpaste, bread, bottles of wine. If it exists, chances are there’s a version with a smug little “suitable for vegans” badge right on the front.

But let me tell you something. When I went vegan a quarter of a century ago, none of this existed. Supermarkets weren’t trying to woo us. Most of them didn’t even know (or care) we existed.

How did we cope back in the dark ages?

Wellness Warnings and Influencers From Hell

I just finished watching a two-part documentary on Belle Gibson, the Australian wellness influencer who pretended to have terminal brain cancer and built a small empire off the back of that lie.

If you’re unfamiliar with the story, brace yourself. This influencer made hundreds of thousands of dollars (or possibly more) through app sales, a book deal, media appearances and brand partnerships, all while claiming she had treated herself through natural and alternative therapies.

She never had cancer.

Her story is one of the most shocking and extreme examples of what happens when wellness culture goes unchecked. But the uncomfortable truth is that her case isn’t as unique as we might like to think. It’s just the tip of the influencer iceberg.
