Portia DeGeneres talks about her vegan lifestyle

Portia de Rossi, now known legally as Portia DeGeneres, is July and August’s clean living cover girl for VegNews.

During a recent interview, Portia talks about her decision to stay vegan and puts it in perspective of being married to Ellen, “Listen, I think it’s more difficult to be vegan than gay. I think people have a harder time accepting it; people feel more uncomfortable with a vegan at their dinner table than they do a lesbian. It’s confronting. It’s kind of suggesting that what someone else is doing is bad or wrong, and it hits them on a more personal level.”

Portia adds that “if somebody is sitting there eating a steak watching you eat a polenta, they’re thinking that you’re trying to preach to them or you’re trying to convert them in some way.”
