      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.

    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.

        Damn. I saw someone had posed this on Substack in response to the Canadian LGBTQ+ hotline misinformation, so I was excited to share it for people who may need it. Thanks for the correction.

    You know sometimes you wonder how come Hitler and the gang was just doing fucked up shit and no one stopped and then you see the slide that the US is in, day after day, more and more straight up evil shit being done and half the country probably even loves it and then you kinda start to understand.

    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)

    I see Bobby’s moved away from MAHA and onto MSCWMAHABOITNP

    Make straight cis white male Americans healthy again but only if they’re not poor. Really rolls off the tongue, especially if you’ve got a brain worm.

    Wonder how Cheryl Hines still justifies being married to a mass murderer.
