Ally for LGBTQIA+ Communities<\/strong><\/h1>\n

An ally, straight ally, or heterosexual ally is a heterosexual and cisgender person who supports equal civil rights, gender equality, and LGBTQIA social\u00a0movements;\u00a0challenging homophobia, biphobia, and transphobia.\u202fAn ally acknowledges that LGBTQIA people face discrimination and thus are socially disadvantaged. They aim to use their position and privilege as heterosexual and cisgender individuals in a society focused on cisnormativity and heteronormativity to counter discrimination against LGBTQIA people. Several LGBTQIA organizations (both on local and state levels) center the development of allies in working towards their social justice goals.<\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
