(From the pamphlet:)
Straight for Equality is an invitation and opportunity for people who want to stand up for gay (gay: A man who is attracted to other men, or a person of any sex or gender who is sexually and emotionally attracted to people of the same or a similar sex or gender. Often used alongside lesbian.) , lesbian (lesbian: Describes the sexual orientation of a woman who is sexually and emotionally attracted only or mostly to other women.) , bisexual (bisexual: A term for sexual orientation which either describes a person who can be sexually and emotionally attracted to people of more than one gender.) and transgender (transgender: Describes people who find that the gender applied to them because of the sex they were assigned at birth is incorrect.) (GLBT (GLBT: G = gay, L = lesbian, B = bisexual, T = transgender. Additional letters sometimes added include Q = queer/questioning, U = unsure, I = intersex, P = pansexual, A=asexual, S = straight allies.) ) equality but are not sure how. Through education, Straight for Equality will empower straight people in supporting and advocating for GLBT equality in their home, workplace and community. The GLBT community cannot achieve equality without support from smart, energetic,
compassionate, and dedicated straight allies…people just like you. We know that there are lots of barriers that may keep people from getting involved, and that’s why we’re here. This booklet is the first step to getting past them.
