Being a "straight girl" where I clearly didn't belong, but I will say, I felt so welcomed there.

But the LGBTQ community has always felt like home, especially a few years later when I, uh, learned something about myself.

There has been a huge outpouring of solidarity for the LGBT community since the attack, with the hashtag #lovewins trending online.
