I dislike the term Ally because it implies partiality. I am an ally to the project of human existence itself. That makes me an ally of many people, but far more, it makes me an enemy of hate, an enemy of cruelty. to say I am a friend and ally to oppressed persons ignores the more relevant truth; I am an enemy to the bigoted and small-minded. If you are are filled with hate, you may not fear me yet, but you will.
