ask 9 people you'll get 9 answers. Speaking up and challenging folks when you see or hear shady #### is a good place to start, because it takes the burden of the visibly queer or maybe even closeted person in the room.
Personally, I just hate the term 'ally' because I find it sort of used so much it's meaningless. I hear you though about speaking off the cuff etc. I can still #### up people's pronouns. It's a process and a journey and grace is a big part of that.
I am just tired of the 'be nicer, you'll use allies' arguement
