 * Straight Ally


 * Article Evaluation
 * Overall, I think the article could use a lot of work - it is clearly still in its early stages, which make sense considering the straight allies in social movements is a fairly recent idea that is slowly gaining more prominence. I think the strength in the article is that is it easy to read and simply understood, but it can be improved by filling in the many gaps of information. The status of its underdevelopment can be fixed by adding multiple categories such as how allies are formed, motivations of being an ally, criticisms of those motivations and how allyship works as a way to politicize issues within the community. Again, as the idea of a straight ally is relatively new, this article is a good start, but there are definitely some refining touches that can be made in order to make it more comprehensive in addressing the topic's complexity.
