An ally or straight ally is a cisgender, heterosexual/romantic, allosexual/romantic, perisex (cishet) individual who is not a part of the LGBTA+ community but supports the community. An ally acknowledges that LGBT people face discrimination and thus are socially disadvantaged, supports LGBT+ rights, and challenges homophobia, transphobia, etc.

Not everyone who meets this definition identifies specifically as an "ally". Not all cishet people are allies.

The A in LGBTA+ does not stand for "Ally", rather it stands for asexual, aromantic, agender, abrosexual, abroromantic, androgyne, and many other LGBTA+ identities that start with "A".

History

It is unknown when the term "ally" was first used, however it has been around seemingly since the post events of The Stonewall Riots.
