An '''ally''' or '''straight ally''' is a [[cisgender]], [[Straight|heterosexual]]/[[Heteromantic|romantic]], [[allosexual]]/[[Alloromantic|romantic]] ([[cishet]]) individual who is not a 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". Not all cishet people are allies. |
