I'm giving them til Monday night to get this sorted.
"Ally" is good as an aspirational term, not as a descriptive one.
Are the flowers pissing you off!? My husband threatened to turn if off if I don't stop complaining about the fucking flowers. I need gay confirmation.
Even if they mean well, I always feel as though they're using me as an accessory to boost their cred.
As a straight person, I kind of feel the same way. But as a college instructor trying to help his students feel at ease, it's something that comes up. I usually try to frame it as "I'm doing my best to be an ally" or something less presumptuous. Kind of a rock and a hard place though, at the moment.
I absolutely never frame myself as "that person" in other contexts though.
A crime against florality.
I'm sorry it's so hard on you.
Sorry, that wasn't purpose of my post. I was interested in suggestions for said context.
Sure. I'm not one to police talk or anything like that. It takes a lot to actually get me upset. What I'd say is a good way to frame it is that you're a full supporter of LGBTQ equality. It's a minor distinction, but I think it's important. It's hard for straights to navigate, no doubt.
THANK YOU!
That's a great way to explain it. I was lacking that language and perspective because even at our SafeZone workshops, the word "ally" kept coming up. Thank you!
You look away for one second

Over 150 now! Crazy, and this Ukraine shit is only about to blow it open.
This gay Californian thinks she is. Because she's touting her record...of actual change.
Kamala's one of the few candidates on that stage who can point to concrete things she's actually done. Not "tried."
"Congratulations all you LGBTs, you did it. You won! I was rooting for you."
I'm not even sure what an investigation by Ukraine into Joe Biden's son is even supposed to accomplish. Even as a scandal, does anyone really care what a foreign government with no jurisdiction investigates? Is the presumption that Trump will hold the that of extradition over Biden's head or something? Is the intent to muddy the waters so that the politically illiterate think it's a US investigation? What does the investigation yield that they can't get just by taking to the airwaves to spew bullshit--hell, what would be the functional difference if they just lied their asses off and claimed there was an investigation regardless?
The latter. Its like nails on a chalkboard. Ally is something bestowed upon you, not something you get to claim. Just "be an ally" don't worry about calling yourself one.
Who?
Also, Pete talking about donating blood fucking hits me. I can't donate blood to my own husband (same type) if he needs it. Shit hurts and sucks.
Trump controls the FBI and the doj and the senate. If there is anything there that's legitimate, they'll get a grand jury to act.
It's easy to forget that corruption is rampant in American politics. But part of the gentleman's agreement was to look the other way so that u too can get away with that.
Ifits nothing then you're right. It will just be a distraction that CNN will run with 247. To exhaust the public.
They want BUTTERY MALES 2.0. That is literally it. They want a bullshit sham investigation to try and get on him because Grandpa Simpson vs Cheeto wont end well for Cheeto.
Gah, it hurts a lot that Pete is so mediocre because I would absolutely love to see him as president otherwise. Shame.
she's been bestowed the title of Ally no less than 7 times!
Honey, you're one of the good ones.
:(
Ah, I hadn't considered the possibility of our own law enforcement "cooperating" with a Ukraine investigation.
Me am smart.
