Trump administration ends 988 Lifeline's special service for LGBTQ+ young people
The 988 Suicide and Crisis Lifeline has been up and running for three years. The day after its third anniversary, the Trump administration shut down a specialized option for gay and trans young people.

Callers to 988 used to be able to press 3 to reach counselors specially trained to help LGBTQ+ young people. The service had been reaching 70,000 people a month.
