29-year old Mike Brazell and Jonathan Frank, 18, locked lips in Concord, New Hampshire last week. The two men are traveling across the country as part of animal loving non-profit PETA’s “Vegetarians Make Better Lovers” campaign. PETA’s fur-free blog elaborates:
Mike and Jon chose New Hampshire to celebrate the fact that it has recently become the fourth state to authorize civil unions for gay couples. They also brought a big banner with them that read “Vegetarians Make Better Lovers,” and then proceeded to prove it for the benefit of a large crowd of onlookers. In between makeout sessions, the dudes had plenty of leaflets with information about the way animals are treated on factory farms just in case anyone who was having a bit too much of a good time at the demonstration.
Just like activists – sullying people’s fun with facts! Indeed!
One Concord resident called the boys out on their carnal conjecture: “I’m not a vegetarian, and I haven’t had any complaints yet.” Nor have we. Although, to be fair, we’re usually out the door before they can spit or swallow, let alone say…
PETA launched a similar campaign last year, in which former Navy Seal Brazell got down with another man. Those PETA-heads may not eat meat, but they sure do love their hot beef! Watch some footage from last year’s tour, after the jump…
How about we take this to the next level?
Our newsletter is like a refreshing cocktail (or mocktail) of LGBTQ+ entertainment and pop culture, served up with a side of eye-candy.

Great. As if being gay in America isn’t challenging enough. Let’s tie our cause to something really worthwhile that most Americans respect and admire. Like PeTA. Barf.

I hate to agree with you adamblast, but I do. There is a reason why people went clean for Gene–you want to put your best foot forward when you’re trying to shove it into the door and get it opened up to those behind you.

I don’t think conformity and fitting in is what made the queens beat down the police at Stonewall…

I’m all for activism, but if I remember correctly PETA supports absolute freedom for all animals, including domestic pets.
My schnauzers seem to love that I put food in the bowls and administer biscuits regularly. Hunting for food would cut into their couch time.

Thanks for saying that Pierre – ’cause it’s the truth that a lot of people have forgotten about (or decided to ignore! Hurray for PETA too! Rosanne Barr went off on gays not caring about other causes and this helps prove her wrong. Also, I went to the website she recommended for getting involved with other causes and they didn’t include us AT ALL!!!!!
Gregoire
I’m sorry, these guys are just attention whores. How is any of this supporting PETA?
Ben
The one on the left nibble on the talking one really makes both of them look stupid. Have pride, but have it with class.
Mike
Well.. considering they are putting themselves out there to get a message out, is very admirable… Too many people just sit around and bitch about everything and do nothing… Neutrality helps the oppressor, never the oppressed.
As far as PETA’s message, it’s one of compassion.. it’s one of respect for all life. It’s not about letting your puppies free in the woods to hunt for their own biscuits, its about extending that same compassion to EVERY animal.. not just the ones we let sit on our couches.
I think they are hot… eye candy always helps get the message out there.
Good Job PETA!!!! Keep up the good work…

Gotta love guys like Adamblast – yeah, ultra-radical causes like opposing cruelty to lower life forms is sooooo radical. Move over, Unibomber!
Idiot.
adamblast
I don’t find PeTA particularly radical, just particularly stupid, like its supporters.
nystudman
I don’t find PeTA particularly radical, just particularly stupid, like its supporters.
Oh yeah, I get it. Like hate love the sin, not the sinner. Or, as the Southern Baptist Convention says, “We don’t hate Jews. Just Judaism.”
You’re obviously an out-and-proud carnivore, judging from your blog photo.
Jonathan
I applaud PeTA for using the media and stunts such as this to get the message out there for animals!
What easier way to get the message to hundreds of thousands of people than by using the things that people read and see every day?

I don’t ridicule vegetarians, I ridicule PeTA, and they’ve earned it. And yep, I’m a proud carnivore.
What blog photo? I don’t have a blog as far as I know. If you’re calling me fat, feel free, although most people would disagree. I’m certainly a nerd, if that helps in your attempts to belittle.
nystudman
Sorry, must have gotten you mixed up with someone else. Anyway, animal rights rule!! Go vegetarian – you’ll live better, feel better and have better karma. I’ve been a vegetarian since 1973, and I look & feel great (with all my bad habits).
kurt
these guys can do whatever they like, they don’t represent any of you as gay men. good on them for getting out there and doing something for what they believe in, it puts most of us to shame.

I am a PETA supporter and I think this event had a great message. Besides, some of you seem to have missed their point–that eating meat clogs veins and arteries, not just to the heart, but to the other vital organ. Check out http://www.GoVeg.com and see what this is all about before you criticize these fellas.

The one thing these guys didn’t mention – which I think is most important – vegetarian cum tastes grrrrrreat!!! Really. Did ya ever notice? I’ve been vegetarian myself and I’ve had vegetarian & non-vegetarian lovers. I’ve done an informal stud-y. I know my own cum tastes sweeter when I’m off the meat and I definitely prefer the cum of non-carnivores. It’s just a matter of taste, mind you, but I find regular cum to be a bit on the tart side. What do you think?

To David in KC:
No, PETA is not against having dogs and cats as pets. In fact, their website http://www.helpinganimals.com teaches people who to be good companion animal guardians.

I had a roommate who was HIV+ but worked for Peta as spokesperson, saying that he was against testing AIDS medicines on animals. When I mentioned that the very drugs he took to survive were tested on animals, his response was basically, “OK, but they dont need to do any MORE testing.” Talk about hypocritical!
I believe in compassion for animals, but not equality. Ive met Dan Mathews and he basically told me PETA takes extreme stances to get the media’s attention. I understand the strategy, but i think its ultimately harmful. People now just laugh at anyone trying to do something for animals and brand them as “a PETA nut”
