Decades of research involving individuals within the LGBTQ+ community ultimately form similar conclusions about the difficulties LGBTQ+ individuals face. LGBTQ+ people are at a higher risk of developing mental illness related to depression, anxiety, and an increase in suicidal ideation, as well as an increase for physical health difficulties including avoiding health care providers, substance use, and physical assault. While multiple studies explore the underpinnings of risk factors for LGBTQ+ individuals, few studies seek out protective factors for LGBTQ+ people within a society filled with heterosexism and cissexism. The studies which examine protective factors tend to rely on similar factors of family support and acceptance and social acceptance. While these factors are understood as protective in nature, LGBTQ+ individuals experience chronic minority stress due to systemic social discrimination and stigma. To combat these risk factors, allyship of cisgender, heterosexual individuals towards LGBTQ+ communities should be considered. Although allyship is important, few studies examine the perceptions of LGBTQ+ individuals on cisgender, heterosexual allies, rather relying on the allies' self-perceptions of their allyship. Additionally, studies often do not consider generational differences within the LGBTQ+ community and perception differences across generations. The current study seeks to fill the gap in the literature by examining LGBTQ+ individuals' perceptions of cisgender, heterosexual allies across the generations of emerging adulthood, middle adulthood, and older adulthood. Given the lack of research in this area, the current study is designed to examine the perceptions LGBTQ+ individuals have of cisgender, heterosexual allies. The present study is exploratory in nature which, posits, LGBTQ+ individuals' perceptions of cisgender, heterosexual, allies, vary across different adult generation cohorts, and intersects with mental health symptomatology. Semi-structured qualitative survey questions were used to gather information and data related to LGBTQ+ individuals' perceptions of cisgender, heterosexual allies. Results indicated that overall, LGBTQ+ individuals have concrete perceptions on what does and does not create a positive ally. LGBTQ+ individuals overwhelmingly indicated that allies viewed as helpful/positive are individuals who are committed to equity, humility, social justice, safety, and advocacy for all marginalized groups. Results also indicated that LGBTQ+ individuals in their interactions with those they have identified as allies, continue to experience microaggressions to some level of degree perpetrated by these allies which leads to an overall skeptical perception of allies' intentions. Limitations, implications, and recommendations for allies and those within the LGBTQ+ community are discussed. Additionally, the findings provided insight into future research avenues for this topic.
