Zack Polanski Just Interviewed Vegan Drag Queen Bimini

Zack Polanski interviewed vegan drag queen, writer, musician, and activist Bimini at the Crossed Wires podcast festival in Sheffield, UK. The episode, titled “Is Society Becoming Less Tolerant?”, delved into topics such as the failure of politicians to support LGBTQIA+ individuals in the UK and whether society has become less accepting since Brexit. Both Polanski and Bimini, who have known each other for over a decade, discussed the importance of a well-funded creative industry and the political nature of music, art, drag, and LGBTQIA+ identities.

Both Polanski and Bimini have been vegan for more than a decade, with Bimini making the connection between eating meat and their family dog at a young age. They explained their transition to veganism in 2014, highlighting the health benefits and ethical considerations. Polanski, who has been vegan for over 10 years, emphasized the importance of not lecturing others about veganism but encouraging small steps towards reducing meat consumption and dairy intake for both personal health and animal welfare.
