ALLY Contract
I, ____________________________________, hereby have permission to be imperfect with regard to people who are different from me. It is okay that I do not know all the answers about GLBT issues or if, at times, my ignorance and misunderstandings become obvious. I have permission to ask questions that appear stupid. I have permission to struggle with these issues and be honest about my feelings.
I am, however, committed to educating myself, and others, about oppression, heterosexism and homophobia, and to combating it on a personal level.
I am committed to working towards providing a safe, confidential support network for members of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, and transgender community.
I am committed to treating everyone with the dignity and respect that they are entitled to as human beings.
