"It has been a long time since I have felt any sort of isolation or adversity for being part of the LGBTQ community," said Garcia."And it is nice to reap the benefits of all the hard work of the community that has come before us to really lay the foundation for being more free and being more accepted and to have out in the open communities where people can play sports, can engage in common interests and to really just have a good time with each other.
