Reply #39: I don't think we're the ones alienating our allies.

They're alienating us, while claiming to be our allies. :(

We appreciate all the help we can get in fighting bigotry, but if we accept bigotry from some people while we do it then we're backing down.

It's also an issue that our straight allies try to tell us what is homophobic, and somehow their own actions never seem to quality.

And our straight allies try to tell us what we're allowed to find offensive, as if straight people have a right to dictate what is offensive.

That type of behavior reinforces the bigotry they claim to be helping us try to fight.
