I’m writing this blog because of a situation I had at work. Some of my fellow co workers were making comments about some other co workers and what they identify as. I stood up for those coworkers and explained that we are all human beings and each of us has a right to our own individuality. We need to learn to listen and understand how each of us is different no matter what we believe.
I’m hoping I did the correct thing by making them think about what they were saying and it will change our work environment for the better. 
What Does Straight Ally Mean?
A straight ally is a cisgender or heterosexual person who recognizes the discrimination faced by the LGBTQ community due to their gender identity, expression, or sexual orientation. They are not themselves part of the queer rainbow family, but support LGBTQ+ causes and fight for a more inclusive world.
The straight ally flag represents unity and support towards the LGBTQ community.
Here’s what the straight ally flag means:
- The letter ‘A’ means ally
- The black and white stripes represent the straight flag.
- The rainbow colors in the letter ‘A’ are for the LGBT community.
I know people and have friends who identify as LGBT and I don't look at them any different than any other human being. We are all a part of this world and the human race no matter where we live.
