An Incomplete List of US LGBTQ+ Helplines

I just saw the news that the Trump administration is ending funding for The Trevor Project as a 988 Lifeline partner.

First and foremost, the Trevor Project is not shutting down. They can be reached directly at 1-866-488-7386, or by texting START to 678-678. What is shutting down is the ability to call 988 and be directed to the Trevor Project’s LGBTQ+ youth lifeline.

However, I wanted to share the various LGBTQ+ helplines that I have bookmarked anyway, because god forbid one of these incredibly vital organizations DOES shut down, I want y’all to know what other support is out there.

Please feel free to add additional helplines in reblogs if I’ve missed anything!

LGBT National Hotline. 888-843-4564. Open Mon-Sat

LGBT National Youth Talkline. 800-246-7743. Open Mon-Sat

LGBT National Senior Hotline. 888-234-7243. Open Mon-Sat

Trans Lifeline. 877-565-8860. Open Mon-Fri. Peer support helpline for trans folks

Call Blackline. 800-604-5841. No longer 24/7 but hours aren’t posted publicly. Open to all but geared toward queer & BIPOC folks. Will not call the police

DeQH. 908-367-3374. Open Thurs and Sun. Peer support helpline for queer Desi folks. Will not call the police

I was tagged by @river-gale that I'm currently reading and plan to read soon.

Currently reading: He Who Drowned the World, The Mars House (technically?? I was reading the audiobook back a few months ago but I ran out of free hours so it's just... been on pause. But I'll get back into it soon...), and Consuming Grief (which I'm also technically currently reading but has also been on pause. Originally read it for class but wanted to continue reading the whole thing on my own time.)

Everything else is something on the to read SOON pile

tagging @drift-wing @khaenraeya @soupandsorcery @radhikae and anybody else who would like to!

The friends that are chronically 30 minutes late are so important to have because they teach u patience and the meaning of loving someone so much u let ur anger go. I have not mastered either yet but I’m sure it’s coming

And then- would you credit it- he blushed! After all that, and still bare as the day he was born. Although, mind you, the poor dear fellow may very well have been born with a neckcloth on. 

Not an actual scene in the books (I can but dream!), but honestly, who among us DOESN’T think that an insular society like the Corps wouldn’t be the biggest fucking hive of gossip ever. Roland and Harcourt indulging in some girltalk that would make Laurence actually die of mortification if he knew it was happening. He has no idea why Harcourt can’t seem to look him in the eye without snickering for days afterwards.

revealing yourself as monstrous and inhuman and expecting me NOT to fall in love? ok….

If i may ask, why has your kid had a lawyer since birth?

Honestly, because I had unprotected sex with one

they should invent an apartment that has huge windows but is never too hot and is near everything i like and all my friends but is also quiet when i want it to be and costs zero dollars or perhaps they pay me to live in. and they save it just for me so i dont have to look for it :)
