Ways to be an ally
In addition to celebrating Pride Month, there are many other ways to be an ally to the LGBTQ+ community. Here are a few ideas:
Educate yourself. Learn about the history of the LGBTQ+ rights movement and the challenges that LGBTQ+ people still face today.
Use inclusive language. Avoid using terms like "gay" or "homosexual" as insults. Instead, use terms like "LGBTQ+," "queer," or "same-sex." And please, for the love of God, be respectful of people's pronouns!
Stand up against discrimination. If you see someone being harassed or discriminated against because of their sexual orientation or gender identity, speak up.
Support LGBTQ+ businesses. When you shop at LGBTQ+ businesses, you're helping to support the community.
Volunteer your time to an LGBTQ+ organization. There are many LGBTQ+ organizations that need your help. You can volunteer your time at a crisis hotline, a homeless shelter, or a community center.
By being an ally, you can help to create a more inclusive and accepting world for all people.
