Ally Week Problems
I am literally posting this to DW because posting this to tumblr would be the worst POSSIBLE plan.
(I talk a little bit about white guilt problems under the cut for analogous reasons, so proceed knowing that.)
( whyyy do we need an ally week exactly? )
This post has gotten really long, but for my final word on the subject: if you're an ally and you need a cookie for being an ally, maybe you should consider why you're an ally in the first place. Is it because you want/need LGBT people to tell you you're a good person? Or is it because you really think supporting LGBT*QIA+ people is the decent thing to do?
