Just for the record my daughter is a vegan and absolutely not interested in being part of a cult I don't think she even knows another vegan. But Paul seems to use his veganism as an invisibility cloak to appear 'nice' and respectable. He wants to save the planet and animals... what's not to like.
He also piggy backs his gayness. He exaggerates his campness to appear non threatening, he slips in and out of effeminacy and gruff masculinity. He also admits to not having gay friends he prefers straight people. This is so he can feel special in his group but he also wants to be around straight women who feel non threatened by him being gay.
The first thing my husband noticed is he exaggerates is northern accent (hence my username). This is to appear more friendly than he actually is. The old stereotype of an affable northerner.
He's playing the world according to his needs at any one time.
