Trump cuts shut down an LGBTQ+ youth suicide lifeline. What happens now?

The article discusses the Trump administration's decision to cut funding for a specialized LGBTQ+ youth suicide lifeline that was provided through the 988 national hotline. Advocates fear this move will have "tragic outcomes" as queer youth will no longer have access to free, specialized counseling. Becca Nordeen, the senior vice-president of crisis intervention at the Trevor Project, a non-profit focused on suicide prevention for LGBTQ+ youth, expressed shock and grief over the decision, as the Trevor Project had been providing counseling through the 988 hotline for nearly three years. The article highlights the concerns of advocates that this decision will leave vulnerable LGBTQ+ youth without a crucial resource during times of crisis.
