My dash has lately been clogged with people complaining about queer allies apparently not being allies in the correct way and how they should all just sit down and shut up or whatever. And while I can see where some people who call themselves allies can be annoying (like during Coming Out Week with people being like "Tee hee, I'm coming out as an ally" yeah, no) I also find myself thinking that, y'know, if you're in the minority you kinda need allies from the majority and you know what's not a great way to get allies? Constantly telling the ones you have to shut up and that they're doing it wrong. Maybe spend less time sniping at your allies and more focusing on, say, the people who are actually against you instead? And I can't help but wonder if somewhere there are actual real-world activists ( as opposed to your usual Tumblr slacktavists) who are reading this stuff and facepalming "Please stop driving away the people who agree with us, thanks, you're not exactly helping here."

I've decided to stop using the word "ally" because apparently it's become synonymous with "attention-grabbing asshole." Though I don't really care that much, because I can back LGBT rights without having a word to call myself.

I hate BS like that. I appreciate any help we can get.
