How to be an LGBTQ Ally
This article from the Unitarian Universalists Association is a laundry-list of tips for acting as an ally for people with marginalized identities. It's a good starting point for people who desire to become allies, and a good refresher for those who already consider themself one.
The list includes:
Assume that oppression in some form is everywhere, everyday.
Notice how oppressions are denied, minimized, and justified.
Read books and articles to increase your understanding of, and sensitivity to, the needs, aspirations, and concerns of others.
Be strategic. Decide what is important to challenge and what is not.
Intervene when someone disrespects or demeans another because of their race, gender, disability, sexual orientation, age, economic status, etc.
