I Love Being a Straight Ally
"I decided to step up and take a stand and be honest and real with
my friends. I said that I was not going to call others names, and to
intervene when I witnessed people being bullied or harassed."
Anchor in Alaska: Being an Ally
"Like other allied students, I have had some difficult experiences.
I have had 'faggot' yelled at me from the open window of a passing school
bus. Friends become exasperated with me for being offended at the saying
'that's so gay.'"
Ally Testimonials
Four Allies - two students, a teacher and a counselor - speak about
their experiences.
