      I’m only surprised they didn’t:

      A. Turn it into some sort of conversion therapy scheme, or…

      B. Shut it down on day one.

        I am definitely not qualified for this, but shit, I will also help if I can. That said, I’m AM qualified to say that (hypothetically) trump and the people making this decision deserve to directly experience the fates they are wishing on the others they are so afraid to recognize as the genuine and valid human beings that they are.

      It wont help everyone but people should be aware PFLAG offers peer counseling for queer people and loved ones, though its mainly aimed at people struggling with a loved one coming out (which incidentally, if thats you or someone you know, getting that help is could save the queer person’s life)

      A from HHS on Tuesday said the hotline will “focus on serving all help seekers” and “no longer silo LGB+ youth services.” Notably, the statement omitted the markers referring to transgender and queer individuals.

      Can’t even acknowledge their existence? Nazi scum.

        That’s the rub: They are precisely the ones that lost the funding.

        On Tuesday, the Trevor Project, a LGBTQ suicide prevention nonprofit that contracts with Health and Human Services to respond to the calls, received a stop-work order, effective July 17.
