That's when having allies is especially important. Lucas Lixinski, a professor at the Faculty of Law and Justice at the University of New South Wales, Sydney, in Australia talks honestly and openly about how hard being an ally can be, but also how wonderful it is.  \nLixinski also describes about how, in tough times, one may need to hide one's LGBTQ+-ness for a moment.
