How would you like to
identify this forum in the
future?
Well it should be LGBT, since this is the
accepted, used, and widespread term to
describe the community.

It should actually be .g.l.b.t.a. That's
for gay lesbian bisexual transgendered and
ally. I'm an ally myself.

An ally is someone who is not gay,
bisexual, transgendered, or lesbian, but
who is a friend and supporter of people
who are.

Well, Allies like to be included, and
GLBTA is the "official" abbreviation now
anyway.
Allies are as much a part of the GLBT
communnitty as lesbians are!

I'm sure this was decided long ago but I
also like GLBTA. I never realized that
there were "allies" but it is cool to know
because I AM ONE! lol

I particulairly like
this way of saying it. ^_^ Most people
(and when i say people I mean the wording
of it) dont think of or include the allies
unless it's the pflag which this isnt or
is it. I think the pflag means Parents,
Families & Friends of Lesbians &
Gays although the only problem with that
is that it leaves out the bi sexuals.
I wish everyone was
more like you...it would be a great
world....xoxo
