As Quaintance's dedication to building up his local LGBTQ+ community and impacting the lives of people outside his own circle exemplifies, members of the LGBTQ+ community generally feel a responsibility to people beyond just those that they know. Quaintance’s generosity and concern for his community doubtlessly changed lives, particularly in a time and place where queerness was far less visible.
