Lurleen and Red Triangle (welcome to the Blend, btw!) had an interesting exchange today:

    Red Triangle: I've often thought that we "allies" could use a badge of our own, like a red triangle or something.  There are a lot of us around.

    Lurleen: an allies badge. that is a really interesting idea.  as i said to Louise below, you can always use the rainbow flag. but it might be nice to combine the rainbow flag with an another symbol that makes it clear you are a straight ally.  not because you're uncomfortable with being confused with lgbt people, but because it is good to sent the message that there are straight allies out there.  interesting idea.  maybe a subject for a whole diary in itself.

And Gawd help us, between them and Radical Russ' diary, it got me to thinking. Google searching provided no answers (but close to what I was looking for)as to how straight allies are currently displaying support.
