Since I think the McCurkin thing harmed young people in the audience most of all.

My humble suggestion.

as a response to your statement of making a donation for "us all."

Here's my choice: http://www.scequality.org/

It's particularly pertinent because it is an organization in South Carolina.

The Gay & Lesbian Victory Fund is the nation's largest LGBT political action committee and the only national organization dedicated to increasing the number of openly LGBT elected officials at all levels of government. Since 1991, the Victory Fund and its national donor network have helped hundreds of openly LGBT candidates win election to local, state and federal offices.
