In most major cities, there is at least one organization dedicated to helping out lgbt youth, with counseling, housing, healthcare, etc. Those kinds of organizations always need counselors o case managers. And there is usually an lgbt "specialist" in homeless shelters, domestic violence shelters, low-income clinics, etc. That person specializes in working with lgbt clients.
Or, if tu wanted to work in politics, there are always organizations like HRC (Human Rights Campaign), o smaller local organizations fighting for marriage rights, job equality, housing laws, etc. o tu could simply aim to become a politician and try and improve lgbt civil rights that way.
There's also academia. Most colleges have Queer Studies classes, if not outright Queer Studies departments. Or, if not Queer Studies, there is also Women & Gender Studies, o Sociology. por staying in academia, tu could write, research and try and educate students.
It really just depends on what kind of work tu want to do. tu can do pretty much anything, and focus on helping the lgbt community. tu can be a doctor, and work in a low-cost clinic for homeless o youth who identify as LGBT. If tu were a lawyer, tu could specialize in representing LGBT-identified people who had been discriminated against in jobs, o with housing. Even if tu were an ad executive, tu could focus on making advertisements that were friendly and inclusive (rather than offensive) to the lgbt community, and tu could work as consultant to other large businesses to try and teach them to make their ads non-offensive to the lgbt community.
So, basically, it all depends on the work tu want to do. tu can turn basically any profession into an opportunity to assist the lgbt community in some way.
