Not a real vegan?

So today I was called not a real vegan by a animal rights activist. The reason? I'm friends with meat eaters and I let them eat meat in front of me. To me this is a completely messed up way of thinking. I mean, i don't eat or wear any animal products but now I am judged for the people I am friends with. These friends have been there for me and supported me through converting to veganism so many years ago. I have even converted many people to veganism by showing them delicious food and being kind! People like this animal activist (for the record I am also a animal activist) are the ones that give vegans a bad name. No one wants to be around them because they cannot except people for who they are. Disgraceful.
