The federal government is eliminating specialized crisis support for LGBTQ+ youth on the national suicide hotline. This move is not about equality—it’s about erasing identity.
In this NewsdayTV interview, Dr. David Kilmnick, LGBT Network President, speaks out on why this hotline is vital, how LGBTQ+ youth often face rejection and trauma from other providers, and what we must do now to protect them.
This isn’t just harmful—it’s dangerous. And if the federal government won’t protect our kids, we will.
💬 “No one should feel alone. And we will make sure they’re not.”
