How I Deal with Harassment as a Vegan

I have had harassment for being vegan everywhere... family, social media, and at various jobs.  It's ALWAYS unprovoked, demeaning and condescending stupid comments that have no basis in logic or ethics.  So yes, laughing at them is usually a good response...  It's hard to take people seriously who say stupid mean shit like that.  Sometimes it's extremely subtle, and I don't catch it right away.  Other times it's blatant and abusive... Either way it can catch you off guard in the middle of a workday or surrounded by family at holiday gatherings.  I have cried at holidays, quit jobs and given up on relationships because of these attacks on me as a ethical vegan.
