oh, i don't know, how about because the fact that some people fighting for queer rights - like, i don't know, actual queer people - actually put themselves in the line of fire, and frequently place themselves in danger of losing their jobs or homes or friends or family or physical safety or lives? and the fact that straight people retain straight privilege while being allies? it baffles me that you can think the two are on even remotely the same footing.
allies are great and all, but they have no skin in the game.
