    Not saying you can’t be offended, but they don’t mean ‘you’re some semblance of queer’ in a negative or hurtful way. I read it as ‘queer people are different to the norm, so are people who prefer plant-based milk’. I read their stuff regularly and to me they’ve never come across as sexist or rapist.
