Just in case there was any confusion about this administration's disdain for its citizens.

Confusing, are they shutting down the Trevor Project? Or are they no longer referring calls to them? Really not clear what the deal is from the (paywalled) article

Yes to both.

Where is it said that they're shutting down the Trevor Project completely?

[–] z0e@lemmy.blahaj.zone 3 points 8 hours ago (1 children)

It is not.

The Trevor Project said it would continue to provide crisis services through its own hotline. "I want every L.G.B.T.Q.+ young person to know that you are worthy, you are loved and you belong — despite this heartbreaking news," Jaymes Black, its chief executive, said in a statement. "The Trevor Project’s crisis counselors are here for you 24/7, just as we always have been."

I stand corrected
