What Is A Good Way To Support Your LGBTQ Friends When You're A Straight Ally? I'm Finding That They Think

What is a good way to support your LGBTQ friends when you're a straight ally? I'm finding that they think that I don't understand or that I'm trying to be cool or with the flow. How can I help them, you know in light with what's happened?

Honestly, as a straight ally, you truly will never completely understand their experience. And that’s ok! It’s important to acknowledge that. As an ally, the best thing to do is educate yourself on issues. Offer support when support is asked for. If someone speaks ill of a member of the LGBTQIA+ community or just speaks ill of the community in general, don’t stand by and say nothing. Sometimes the best thing to do is say, “Just know, if you need someone, I’m here for you.” And leave it at that, because it’s important to not make this about you. Many people in this community are in pain, especially right now, and it can not be their responsibility to also try to make you feel better. Being an ally means showing support even when there hasn’t been a tragedy. And it means finding ways to help even when no one is there to see you do so. If you believe, in your heart of hearts, that you are doing your best to change your own mentality and you’re doing what you can to offer support, then that will no doubt shine through to others as time goes by. Thank you for asking, because I can truly see you trying to better yourself, and that’s all that can be asked for.

Listen I’m bi as Heck and as much as I love girls, I also love boys? Boys are amazing and pure and liking boys is a wonderful feeling? I never see a lot of posts talking about cute boys so

Some Boy Aesthetics™ I’m in love with include:

Their tired grins? Have you seen a cute boy grin when he’s tired? Life Changing

Sleeves rolled up to forearms is all good and Well but also when they have Sweater Paws in their hoodies or jumpers? Makes the tallest of them seem so smol? I’m lov?

When they run their hand through their hair and it sticks up in places and it looks So Good

Collar Bones

Soft pudgy stomachs they absolutely make me melt

When ya boy gets flustered A++ Bonus points if he giggles Boys giggling is Everything
