it's national coming out day which means THE QUEERS ARE RECRUITING! Piss off your parents and become a GAY ANTI-CAPITALIST WITCH.
It all depends on what kind of activism circles you're in. Generally though allies have a bad rep.

Quite a few people have written on this, eg, http://feministing.com/2013/10/01/the-case-against-allies/ …

Also I'm hoping what you've learned is that bi and queer people are under the gay umbrella.
-
Yeah. I know this. :)
-
I'm glad/honoured to have taught you something then I guess.

Absolutely. I choose the term begrudgingly. I don’t know a more concise term for, “I don’t have authority to speak; here’s what they say.”
-
I really do try to retweet and amplify the voices of others that have “skin in the game” over providing my straight-splaining.
-
I didn't mean to imply you are a(n) (bad) ally, but you used the term and I wanted to explain the connotations.
-
Indeed. Thank you. Also, didn’t think you were implying that. “Ally” is just a word with a lot of well-justified baggage.
-
It’s also why it was in quotes to begin with… I don’t want to give the term its own standing for validity or authority.
