Let's be clear: the 'a' in LGBTQIA+ is for aspec people. It is not ally. Being an ally also isn't an LGBTQ+ identity. But it is someone who, in a basic definition, supports and accepts LGBTQ+ people and all identities that are LGBTQ+. Today we have the ally flag (black and white with a traditional rainbow flag 'A') explaining how to be a good ally.
Number 1. Don't say things like 'you're so pretty to be ace' or 'you look good- for a trans person'. These are not nice and these aren't supportive or accepting things to say.
Number 2. When people come out, your reaction should not be something like 'do you like me, then?' This is not supportive, and instead say something like, 'okay, I support you and accept you'.
Number 3. Go to pride as an ally. You don't need to do this to be a good ally, but if you give out hugs to people who need them, that could make someone's day better. Not everyone is supported, accepted, or safe in their situation, part of their situation, or any past situation.
Number 4. Stand up for people. This should go without explanation: you should always do this, unless someone is actually in the wrong by bullying or something like that. Don't stand up for hatred.
Number 5. Stop with the 'straight pride' nonsense. Honestly, you've had recognition for ages and we're just gaining adequate representation. Also, horrible things happen to LGBTQ+ people, especially trans people. Straight and cis people do have privilege and rights. We're still getting ours. And also, realize that gay marriage was just legalized in 2015, at least in the United States. 2015. How long has it been legal for straight people? That's right. Way longer.
Thank you. Remember this and please give me more requests. I only need a few more!
Bye! Ally
Autographs- Anyway, bye!
