LGBT

That experience is EXACTLY the hope behind each and every Pride event that is held (sometimes at great risk) in every town, city, and nieghborhood in America.

I'd like to suggest that you write about that experience, in a little more depth, and offer it as an article to any of the pro-LGBTQ publications you might find. As I mentioned, people put themselves at some risk to hold these events, even to attend them, and your honest story of WHY could re-affirm to many that their efforts are certainly worth it.
