  A friend recently posted to Facebook a great collection of photos that were gathered immediately after gay marriage was legalized in New York... And yet the first comment my friend earned on this uplifting post was pointlessly negative, criticizing the couples for their attire, stating that the couples weren’t appropriately formal in their choice of dress... I replied calmly but frankly that this was an event about love and justice, not fashion, and was greeted in return with defensiveness and “at least my only... problem with what is going on in these picures is what they are wearing.” And then it hit me: I was being straightsplained to. Clearly, I had no right to get my little rainbow undies in a bunch about his objections to an event that had no implications for him as a straight man... One of the most important things you must keep at the forefront of your mind as an ally is that it is not your place to jump on the ‘Splainin’ Train and straightsplain/mansplain/whitesplain/etc. away a minority’s objections to your words or behavior.

  As a radio host and commentator, and as a gay man, I’m used to conservatives calling in or writing me to straight-splain the world to me.

  Just hours after the shooting, white, openly gay journalist, author and political commentator Owen Jones stormed off Sky News during the channel’s newspaper review segment after host, Mark Longhurst, and fellow panellist, Julia Hartley-Brewer, both also white, attempted to deflect the fact that the shooter had deliberately targeted an LGBT establishment. What both Longhurst and Hartley-Brewer failed to notice was that, by trying to universalise the incident as an attack on, as they said, “the freedom of all people”, they were attempting to both whitewash and "straight-splain" Orlando... “BAME LGBTQ+ voices are woke,” says Dr Madison Moore. “The last thing we need in times of strength and community building is straightsplaining and whitesplaining.”
