Okay. I checked your story example, and yes, something like that would be more than acceptable.
As for the possibility of using Lindsay's lesbianism as one facet of her story--but not THE facet--I think that would fall into one of the two following categories:
Mostly gen: Stories contain mentions of crushing and/or romances, with perhaps a kiss or two. Not the focus of the piece or anything, but it is there.
Borderline gen: Stories that include many different elements, including romance. However, the focus is not on getting one or two specific couples together romantically or in bed.
Either of these would fall within the parameters of the ficathon and would be acceptable.
So your story idea is fine!
And here's your quote:
