Trump Administration Will End L.G.B.T.Q. Suicide Prevention Service

The Trump administration has instructed the national suicide prevention hotline to stop offering specialized support to L.G.B.T.Q. callers next month, saying those callers can rely on the hotline’s general services.

The Trevor Project, a nonprofit that has provided that specialized support to L.G.B.T.Q. callers to the 988 suicide prevention hotline, said Wednesday that it had received a stop-work order for that service, effective July 17, and provided a copy of the order to The New York Times.

The Substance Abuse and Mental Health Services Administration, the agency within the Department of Health and Human Services that oversees the hotline, confirmed the decision.

The option for L.G.B.T.Q. support was established in 2022 based on a recognition that gay and transgender people experience distinct mental health issues — often driven by family rejection and societal discrimination — and have disproportionately high suicide rates.

7. This just sends out the message that these kids should die, and die quickly... they serve no good use. nt

8. Cruel SOB. He will burn in Hell for not just this but for all the other bastardly things he has done.

Heartless, absolutely heartless.

He should not be THE President of ALL the people, because he hates everyone but white Anglo Saxon Christians.

11. In Fairness, Trump Has Massive Daddy Issues

Despite being given $413 million in inheritance tax-dodged money, Trump never had his daddy's love. This explains his constant need to puff himself up and his embrace of "strong men" dictators. His total inability to experience intimacy has cost him several marriages, and his deep psychological rage has led him to become a well-documented rapist.

So he knows a thing or two about mental health issues. On the flip side, he's a complete a--hole. I hope he gets what he deserves in hell, and I hope these suffering LGBTQ people get the help they need.
