You don't have to sing or be an actor, you can buy a ticket and get the chance to hang out with local queers. You don't have to be into public speaking to show up and support others who are out there teaching the public about being LGBT. There are always behind the scenes things that need to happen and every show needs a friendly audience.
And don't forget that one of the easiest ways to meet your LGBT family is to volunteer for your local PRIDE events.
