Oh, use your imagination!

I have problems with the word ‘ally.’ Many people think, ‘I accept you, therefore I’m an ally.’ No, you’re not. You’re an accepting person. Ally means you ask me what I need. I tell you, and you tell me what or how much of that you can actually supply. If I say, ‘I need help getting through that crowd of people who think I’m a freak, and I need you to be a bodyguard,’ that would be an ally to me. Ask, don’t assume you know. Don’t assume that everybody’s big issue is gender-free bathrooms. It’s not. And for some people, it is the most pressing issue. Ask. That’s the first step of being a good ally.

It is not for me to judge another man’s life. I must judge, I must choose, I must spurn, purely for myself. For myself, alone.

Home is neither here nor there. Home is within you.
