You know what I really don’t like? When queer celebrities have beef/criticise/disagree with a straight celebrity and a bunch of people respond with “How could you criticise [x]?? They’ve supported lgbt causes for years, even before it was popular!!! They donate to lgbt charities, they’ve done [xyz] to help gay kids!!! They were advocating for gay rights when you were still in the cLoSeT!!! How dare you oppose them!?!!”

Like……. can we stop acting like being a straight “ally” buys you some kind of allegiance from queer people and that gays should tip-toe around their “allies” because they owe them something and/or because they shouldn’t risk alienating them??

The general trend of ally-ship has become annoying because liberal straights think they deserve a cookie for supporting basic human rights, and that mindset leads them to use their pro-lgbt track record as leverage anytime they get into arguments with gays. It’s just- ……….. *sigh* Yeah.
