Respect Pronouns, No Questions Asked
Make a habit of using people’s pronouns correctly and share yours openly to create a safe space for everyone.
Educate Yourself and Stay Curious
Learn about LGBTQ+ history, terms, and current issues. Show you're committed to understanding, not just supporting.
Stand Up When It Matters
Speak out against discrimination and microaggressions, even when it’s uncomfortable. True allies make their presence known.
Listen More Than You Speak
When LGBTQ+ people share their experiences, give them your full attention. Listening goes further than you might realize.
Be Inclusive in Everyday Conversations
Use gender-neutral language when possible and avoid assumptions about people’s relationships or identities.
Celebrate LGBTQ+ Voices
Support LGBTQ+ creators, authors, and leaders. Uplifting queer voices should be part of your daily life, not just for Pride Month.
Be Mindful of Your Privilege
Recognize the advantages you may have and use them to help create space for others, not overshadow them.
Correct Mistakes with Grace
If you slip up, acknowledge it, apologize, and move forward. It shows respect and a willingness to learn.
Show Up Consistently
Attend events, donate, or volunteer to support LGBTQ+ causes. Your allyship should be visible year-round, not just during Pride.
Ask Thoughtful Questions
If you’re unsure about something, politely ask questions (when appropriate). Demonstrating respect and a genuine desire to understand goes a long way.
