WHY IS IT IMPORTANT TO BE AN ALLY?
It is important to be an Ally because I want to show support to ALL my friends and loved ones and help others appreciate the differences in people.
WHY ARE YOU “PROUD”? WHAT ARE YOU MOST “PROUD” OF?
I am proud that a loved one felt comfortable enough to come out to me and I am proud that I have attempted to create more knowledge and awareness for myself and others because of her.
THOUGHTS FOR NON-LGBT PEOPLE ABOUT LGBT PEOPLE AND CONCERNS:
If you are merely tolerant, challenge yourself to engage in dialogue, read, and empower yourself with knowledge. See what changes these actions bring you.
ADDITIONAL COMMENTS:
Believe in the beauty of diversity. We can only teach the beauty and strength of diversity if we appreciate it ourselves.
