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 or 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 you wanted to work in politics, there are always organizations like HRC (Human Rights Campaign), or smaller local organizations fighting for marriage rights, job equality, housing laws, etc. Or you 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, or Sociology. sa pamamagitan ng staying in academia, you could write, research and try and educate students.
It really just depends on what kind of work you want to do. You can do pretty much anything, and focus on helping the LGBT community. You can be a doctor, and work in a low-cost clinic for homeless or youth who identify as LGBT. If you were a lawyer, you could specialize in representing LGBT-identified people who had been discriminated against in jobs, or with housing. Even if you were an ad executive, you could focus on making advertisements that were friendly and inclusive (rather than offensive) to the LGBT community, and you 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 you want to do. You can turn basically any profession into an opportunity to assist the LGBT community in some way.
