Something that has been really bothering me lately is all the hate speech that has been showing up on my Tumblr dash- toward strait allies. Why is being an ally of minorities such a bad thing?

Here are some examples of what I am talking about:

I think what these people are trying to say is that they feel strait allies are only saying they are strait allies in order to get attention. Or that in order to be a strait ally one must dedicate their life tohelping out the LGBTQ.

Do you all agree? What is your definition of an ally?
