Become a Straight Ally Today!

2008 Straight Ally Campaign

It’s time Greensboro recognizes that unity and fairness aren't beliefs held just by the LGBT community, but by straight Greensboro residents as well.  We encourage you to speak out and add your support to a growing list of individuals who value unity and fairness regardless of sexual orientation.  By donating to become a straight ally, your name will appear in an ad slated to appear on October 13, 2008 in the News & Record.

Your contribution will be donated to the Guilford Green Foundation to further promote the fair treatment of the LGBT community in Greensboro. Last year, GGF made grants of over $65,000 to organizations in our five county grantmaking region.

Nominate this year's featured Straight Ally!

This year we are asking the community to nominate who will be featured in the Straight Ally Campaign Ad in the Greensboro News & Record on October 13, 2008. Has a straight ally made a difference in your life? Or a difference in the LGBT community? Let us know!

Please email info@ggfnc.org  (please put “Straight Ally Nomination” in the subject line) with the following information:

  • Your Name, Email, Phone and Address

  • Nominee’s Name, Email, Phone and Address

  • In one page or less, how the nominee has made a difference in your life and/or the local LGBT community.

GGF defines a Straight Ally as someone who is not gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgender (LGBT), but personally supports fair treatment of LGBT people.  Straight allies are some of the most effective advocates for the LGBT movement because their voices are often heard when others are not. Nominees must live or work in Alamance, Davidson, Guilford, Randolph, or Rockingham County. The featured straight ally will be chosen by the Guilford Green Foundation Board of Directors. Final deadline for nominations is September 15, 2008.
