How to Be a Better LGBTQ+ Ally

- Опубликовано: 14 июл 2024
- Happy Pride Month everyone! Since Pride Month usually increases interest in, support for, and questions about LGBTQ+ people from outside the community, I wanted to take a little bit of time to talk about what it means to be a good ally, and how to continue to be an ally even after the parades are over.

@@ItTakesCourage Now, how to be Anti?
First,
Great video! I think it's awesome to spread the word and help people understand how they can help!
Thanks so much!
very informative. was taking notes the whole time 📝
Appreciate the effort! 💪👏
Are you for fucking real? xD
Really good stuff. Been waiting on this one for a while
Thanks for the inspiration!
Also, being a good ally is not so much about understanding or "getting" why someone else is the way they are, but about making sure their humanity and peace is not attacked or diminished because of who they are, who they love or how they present themselves to the world. The privilege this video talks about is the privilege of being conventional, of walking around the world and not having people single out negatively because you don't meet their expectations of what they expect person should look like, behave or do with their lives. Even some LGBTQ+ people have some of these privileges, as a gay cis man myself that's not particularly flamboyant or feminine (in my adulthood), most people think I'm straight and therefore they don't project negative anti-LGBTQ+ prejudices on to me they way some would do upon more flamboyant or feminine gay men.
Growing up was a harder time though because I naturally did not fit into the male archetype people were forcing upon me, from the way I walked or the way I talked to the interests I had. I didn't understand why people were so cruel to me. I was just being me, I was just being a kid and for some reason everything I did or everything I liked was not "manly" enough. I was bullied by family, school bullies, neighbors and so-called psychologists into being more "manly," because apparently being born with a penis wasn't enough so I had to perform being "man" for the rest of the world to protect myself. I've done away with most of that crap as I've grown, but that is also part of the privilege cis-straight people have: they get to be kids when they're grow up and don't have a bunch of insecure adults bully them into suppressing who they are because they happen to fit the conventional gender/patriarchal boxes society expects them to embody.
Great video!
Very helpful! Thank you. 🥰
Ally I’m ally
Great video! Thank you for teaching me how to be a better ally 💪
Thank you for working hard to be a great ally!
Thank you
You can be LGBT and Christian no problem 👬
This video was so important and needed, even I don't have all the answer and say to others, educate yourself 🏳️🌈❤️🏳️⚧️
I stated a bunch of times on RUclips but if you support religious laws then you can make any opinion sound like it’s a fact by saying that’s what God agrees with and how do you make friends if that’s how you think because we all have different opinions about somethings Even religious figures that these people worship have different opinions I think any LGBTQ person that lives in the south should Move up north because people are more accepting up here than they are down there generally
I have learned recently that I'm intersex. I want to talk to someone. Can you recommend an online group chat or something?
Have you tried looking on Reddit? I bet you can find some communities there!
great video for Allies to figure out their best way to support oppressed and disenfranchised persons, as a white male, confronting privilege and understanding the negative roles cisgender, white, and male privilege contributes to the systemic oppression it's good to hear how I can do more then just understand the uncomfortable stuff. thank you
why do you think so many people are anti lgbtq or at least against the use of pronouns? cause I have a theory myself
I thought June was the month of the
Sacred heart of Jesus
Some people who are Catholic or Christian or believe in any other religions, are also a part of the LGBTQ+ community.
Sometimes it can just be harder for those to “come out” when they believe in religion as well.
Since not all members of that religion may have the same thoughts or ideas about the LGBTQ+ community, and how they think their religion sees it.
I personally know people who are both Catholic or Christian who also identify as being gay or any of the other orientations out there.
Everyone who believes in religion just has their own different look on how the two are seen together. Some may agree and others may disagree with their beliefs on the matter.
And yes the Sacred Heart of Jesus and Pride Month are both celebrated in the month of June.
No.
