being a real 'ally' to the causes of Equality for lgbtiq people isn't 'qualified'.

if you are straight -- you aren't the leaders in the struggle.

you play a supporting role as we lgbtiq people go through what ever Fires we have to go through.

if you as an 'ally' say something blantantly -- or suggestively -- or softly bigoted and lgbtiq people tell you it is --
explain to you it is -- time and again --

MAYBE WE HAVE A POINT.

and maybe it's time to think -- ok -- my thoughts and feelings on lgbtiq people aren't as straight up as i thought.
maybe i harbour some of the 'Ick' or i think lgbtiq people haven't suffered 'that much'.

i don't -- we don't -- have time to take care of straggling, iffy, waffling, hot then cold -- supporters.

it's too hard out here.

we will never ever quit in our march forward -- and if you come along dragging and kicking -- we're probably going to remember that.

YOU might not think it's offensive -- ally --
but it is.
