Re: omg allies ~sit down~

[(Anonymous)]

As a straight ally: thank you. I'm getting really sick of people who dismiss us just because we ~don't fully understand. Just because we're not LGBT doesn't mean we can't want you guys to have the same rights. Besides, who's going to help vote for gay marriage and such?

I think a part of the dislike is some allies making us look bad: those who make a big deal about BEING allies (Lady Gaga gets criticism for this), and those who are just around to fetishize LGBT relationships, and maybe there's other types that I can't think of.

Eh. I just want my queer friends to be happy. /shrug

I thought Lady Gaga was bisexual? I don't really pay attention to celebrities, but I'm pretty sure I read something somewhere about that...?

Re: omg allies ~sit down~

[(Anonymous)]

She is.

Re: omg allies ~sit down~

[(Anonymous)]

She is but people ignore it and act like she never said it. It's easier to hate her if she's straight, y'know?

Re: omg allies ~sit down~

[(Anonymous)]

straight ally anon upthread: this. I always forget she's bisexual, and it's probably because people seem to keep hating her for being such an overeager LGBT ally.

Re: omg allies ~sit down~

[(Anonymous)]

Can you be a LGBT ally if you're part of LGBT?

Re: omg allies ~sit down~

[(Anonymous)]

Probably not, but that's where my confusion came from. She gets criticism for targeting to the LGBT crowd (I thought) that it seemed like she was one of those overeager 'look at me!' allies. (I'd never seen other famous LGBT people get the kind of criticism she does for it, so...)

And so, I forgot she was bi. Dumb reason I know.

The thing is, it's great when straight people help out with the work because they too want the world to be awesome and equal for everyone's sake. Excellent.

But the fact that there's stuff you're not going to get about being gay is just a fact of the gay/ally dynamic, and sometimes we're going to roll our eyes and vent a bit about the straight dude or chick with the truisms.

Being gay is nothing like Macklemore's song. Macklemore's song is not about being gay. It's about the experiences of a straight guy who doesn't like heterosexism. Fair enough. There's totally room for that - go him. But I'm still gonna roll my eyes and snigger at dude's earnest straight-pain with my gay friends sometimes. Cause I have a lot of anger and bitter stored up and venting is cathartic.

I feel like being an ally should probably also involve sometimes giving the people you're standing with a pass on being dicks, even if only for pragmatism sake. Unless it gets to the point of being personal, you can probably take it?
