"No. I’m an ally and I don’t need recognition for being supportive of a group. It’s just who I am. I don’t expect kudos. If I’m stigmatized for being an ally, who cares? It’s not about me. Being included in the community won’t make it any different."

"No. ‘LGBT’ is fine. We’ve had it this long, why change it? People know it by now. Nothing against allies, but if it’s not broken, don’t fix it."
