The Trump administration ends the LGBTQ youth option on the American suicide bomber

Part of the National Hotline to prevent the American suicide prevention that meets the needs of LGBTQ youth will close it soon, after the Trump administration has reduced its financing.

The administration accused the “radical gender ideology” service.

She says she will continue to finance 988 suicide & Crisis Lifeline – which is the LGBTQ youth option part of – and that all callers will get “sympathy and assistance”.

The Trefor project, an organization that helped manage the LGBTQ option, said the decision will have a harmful impact on weak youth.

“Prevention of suicide revolves around people, not politics,” said James Black, CEO of the organization. He said that his service was said to be closed within 30 days.

Mr. Black added: “The administration’s decision to remove the service based on evidence that has already supported a very dangerous group of young people during their darkest moments is incomprehensible.”

The decision comes during the month of international pride, which celebrates the culture and history of LGBTQ.

The news also arrived before the United States Supreme Court’s decision on Tuesday, which supported the Tennessee’s state of health care related to the transfer of minors who suffer from transgender people.

General 988 Lifeline provides free support for mental health by communicating, text or chat. It is funded by the Department of Narcotics and Mental Health Services (SAMHSA), which is a subsidiary of the American Humanitarian Health and Services Agency (HHS).

Currently, young LGBTQ can determine the 3rd option from the call list to call the advisers.

After the changes, the remaining lifeling 988 services will focus on the service of searches for all assistance.

But the hotline “Silo LGB+ YouTH Services”, SAMHSA wrote in a statement, deleted “T” and “Q”, which refers to transgender people and nausea in the shortcutqc summary.

HHS officials suggested cutting LGBTQ youth services in 988 LGBTQ last week.

In a statement of NBC news at the time, HHS spokesman described the option as “chat service where children are encouraged to adopt the root gender ideology by” Advisors “without approval or knowledge of their parents.”

The legislation issued by the American conference in 2020 from the 988 Life Art Article to provide services and employees specifically for LGBTQ individuals in addition to other groups at risk such as rural Americans and indigenous Americans.

The legislation indicated that LGBTQ youth were “more than 4 times more than 4 times to think about suicide from their peers, with 1 in 5 LGBTQ youth and more than 1 of 3 sexually transgender youth who are trying to commit suicide.”

The law received support from the two parties – including Donald Trump, who was then spent his first presidential term, and the draft law signed the law.

According to LiFline 988, LGBTQ communities “are at risk of suicide and other mental health struggles due to historical and continuous structural violence.”

The organization said in a statement that the Trefor project began providing its services through 988 Lifeline in 2022. In 2024, he served more than 231,000 crisis calls. She says she will continue to provide her independent services.

The decision to get rid of the LGBTQ youth option in LGBTQ 988 comes amid Trump’s pushing to reduce services and support and access sexually transgender across the federal government.

He has pushed to end the policies of diversity, fairness and integration (Dei) within the federal government, arguing that such programs are the same discriminatory.

The President also ordered the removal of sexual soldiers from the US military and issued an executive order that the United States would only learn about two sexes – males and females.

The US State Department has also announced that it will not allow applicants to choose “X” as their gender on US passports. Instead, transgender individuals must choose a “male” or “female” opposite their species at birth.
