Line 5: An '''Ally''' or '''Straight Ally''' is a [[cisgender]], [[Straight\|heterosexual]]/[[Heteromantic\|romantic]], [[allosexual]]/[[Alloromantic\|romantic]] ([[cishet]]) individual who is not part of the [[LGBT+\|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".
