i don’t know if straight people are fully aware of this, but literally the only, the only, function of including “allies” is to provide a cover for those LGBTQ+ people who are not out. that is it. that the purpose of “allies.” if you see “allies included!” or anything like that, the message is inclusion of those who, for whatever reason, cannot be out. it is not for straight people.
I legitimately did not know this.
