“And I thank you for that,” she said. “I will take that with me forever… thank you for the opportunity to let me dance — I’m going to keep dancing.”

The dance was a tribute to gay pride after a recent spike of gay teen suicides, such as Tyler Clementi, the 18-year-old Rutgers freshman who killed himself after classmates outed him.
