What is Ask an Ally? 

Ask an Ally is a monthly advice column, in the tradition of Dear Abby, wherein a bona fide straight ally answers your questions. Each month, a different qualified ally will answer a different question pertaining to straight allies and issues surrounding straight allies. 

Do you have a question you’re too embarrassed to ask? Afraid of sounding dumb or hurting people’s feelings? Or maybe you’re just really curious about something. Don’t be shy, ask an ally!  Click here to email us your question, and make sure to write "Ask an Ally" in the subject line (don’t worry, we won’t print your name unless you ask us too!). Who knows? Maybe we’ll print your question. You’ll have to keep checking back to see!
