An Ally or Straight Ally is a cisgender, heterosexual/romantic, allosexual/romantic(cishet) individual who is not a part of the LGBTA+ community but supports the community. An ally acknowledges that LGBT people face discrimination and thus are socially disadvantaged, supports LGBT+ rights, and challenges homophobia, transphobia, etc.
Not everyone who meets this definition identifies specifically as an "ally". Not all cishet people are allies.
 
The Pride Ally Flag was created sometime in the late 2000s, but the specific origin is unknown.
 
£1 from every sale of this design is donated to Stonewall in support of their vital work with LGBTQ+ people and communities.
