Strength in Numbers: How to be an Active Ally
Winston Churchill once said, “There is at least one thing worse than fighting with allies, and that is fighting without them.” The circumstances may have been dramatically different, but the intention remains true. The 2sLGBTQI+ communities would not be where we are today without our allies—straight cisgender people—who have seen the terrible realities faced by 2sLGBTQI+ people and joined in the fight.
The word “ally” comes from the Latin word “alligare,” meaning “to bind to.” In essence, it means to join forces; to align with a particular cause. But what does that mean for individuals?
Strength in Numbers: How to be an Active Ally is an engaging and informative look at the concept of allyship, and the key factors in being an active ally. Based on his new book Alphabet Soup: The Essential Guide to LGBTQ2+ Inclusion at Work, Michael Bach focuses on the individual and how each person plays a role in creating an inclusive space for 2sLGBTQI+ people.
