We live in a society where there are people of different races, ethnicities, sexual orientations, etc. People are free to choose whatever path they want to follow and especially with sexual orientation. People know what path they want to follow at an early age, whether they are heterosexual, i.e. heterosexual, or homosexual, i.e. lesbian, transgender or queer/questioning. This article will discuss the educational role of Ally Training, the role of heterosexism in the lives of homosexuals, the coming out process, the multicultural world, the concerns homosexuals face, and religion. Participating in Ally Training was an educational experience. Starting with what Ally's training is. Ally training is a training organized to provide people with accurate information about what it means to be lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer/questioning, which can be written as LGBTQ because we live in a world where there is so much information out because the people know it. Ally people are people who, regardless of their sexual orientation or gender identity who want to support and honor diverse sexual diversity, act on the challenge of homophobic, biphobic, and transphobic remarks and behaviors. These people want to explore and understand these forms of prejudice within themselves and try to understand why they have these prejudices. This is a world dominated by heterosexism, and according to the book, heterosexism is defined as “the view that heterosexuality is the norm.” and that homosexuality is abnormal” (p. 130). When a straight person starts to feel like their sexuality is the best there is and doesn't understand why other people aren't straight, it starts to make those people feel uncomfortable and in return they feel uncomfortable being in a place or even talking with a person who is.
