Trump ends funding for LGBTQ youth option on national suicide hotline
Published: 6/19/2025

Trump administration cuts funding for LGBTQ youth option on national suicide hotline run by The Trevor Project, citing "radical gender ideology." This decision impacts vulnerable young people during Pride Month and follows a Supreme Court ruling upholding Tennessee's ban on transition-related healthcare for transgender minors. Legislation requiring specific LGBTQ services on the hotline was passed in 2020, but now the administration aims to eliminate this dedicated support.
