Personally I don't feel like changing my profile picture to the rainbow version of it is me trying to "take away" or diminish their struggle, but just a silent sign of support. But I guess there's always going to be people who see straight allies who think, "Oh, the straights are trying to take attention away from us, even though this is our fight."
Thoughts?
