This is a blog for all the straight allies out there and all of the members of the LGBT community looking for straight allies. Each blog post is going to talk about ways to be an ally, ways to advocate for the LGBT community, or ways to support equality. Please note that this blog is not affiliated with GLSEN, GLSEN Northern Virginia, or the Anti-Defamation League in any way. I am writing on my own behalf.

Introducing the Fairfax Open House
I am always looking for new groups that help students and are a resource for youth to go to. When I was younger, I was bullied for being Jewish and I turned to the Anti-Defamation League for help. This group, Fairfax Open House, is a new group for LGBT Jewish teens in the Northern Virginia area and I believe it is truly great that it has been created. I am an activist and a straight ally myself because I understand what it feels like to be bullied. I am proud that a group has been created in this area for Jewish teens who also face LGBT bullying.
