I just feel, oh gods, when you're looking at the damage anti-LGBTQ+ prejudices are doing in your community, you don't gatekeep. If someone comes in the door asking for services, we give them services, explain when they'll be available, or give them contact information. We might ask someone to leave who's breaking our code of conduct, but we don't have the luxury of offering HIV testing, counseling, or referrals only to certified LGBT people who use the right identity labels or present in the right way.

(Also while I'm ranting, "allies" means allies and yes the center I volunteer for cultivates those relationships.)
