I'm only surprised they didn't:

A. Turn it into some sort of conversion therapy scheme, or...

B. Shut it down on day one.

“This is a death sentence potentially to thousands of youth across the United States.”

Yes, they want all LGBTQ people dead.

[–] MiyamotoKnows@lemmy.world 14 points 16 hours ago

This is absolute bullshit! These vile fuckers want to kill kids! How sick in the head do you have to be to align with these motherfuckers in 2025??? Pure evil!

Cruelty is a feature and not a bug.

It wont help everyone but people should be aware PFLAG offers peer counseling for queer people and loved ones, though its mainly aimed at people struggling with a loved one coming out (which incidentally, if thats you or someone you know, getting that help is could save the queer person's life)

Yep. If you need it too, you can pretend to live in Australia and use our free E-Headspace services.

Fucking ghouls.

This hotline talked me down five times. People will die.

[–] RedditIsDeddit@lemmy.world 14 points 20 hours ago

[–] jawa22@lemmy.blahaj.zone 16 points 20 hours ago

I'm not, really, but thanks.

[–] kameecoding@lemmy.world 13 points 20 hours ago

You know sometimes you wonder how come Hitler and the gang was just doing fucked up shit and no one stopped and then you see the slide that the US is in, day after day, more and more straight up evil shit being done and half the country probably even loves it and then you kinda start to understand.

That's really kind of you. Can I have a hug?

[–] Reverendender@sh.itjust.works 26 points 1 day ago

I am definitely not qualified for this, but shit, I will also help if I can. That said, I’m AM qualified to say that (hypothetically) trump and the people making this decision deserve to directly experience the fates they are wishing on the others they are so afraid to recognize as the genuine and valid human beings that they are.

A from HHS on Tuesday said the hotline will “focus on serving all help seekers” and “no longer silo LGB+ youth services.” Notably, the statement omitted the markers referring to transgender and queer individuals.

Can't even acknowledge their existence? Nazi scum.

[–] captainlezbian@lemmy.world 6 points 16 hours ago

Acknowledging our existence has become politically incorrect to them

Pro life is a misnomer for anti abortion.

It's only about controlling women

Outside of that, they couldn't give half a fuck

[–] floop@lemmy.dbzer0.com 19 points 1 day ago* (last edited 1 day ago)

The cruelty is the point. Never forget for even a second that these people are fucking monsters.

[–] tigeruppercut@lemmy.zip 9 points 22 hours ago

I see Bobby's moved away from MAHA and onto MSCWMAHABOITNP

Make straight cis white male Americans healthy again but only if they're not poor. Really rolls off the tongue, especially if you've got a brain worm.

Wonder how Cheryl Hines still justifies being married to a mass murderer.

The pro death party at it again.

[–] unmagical@lemmy.ml 30 points 1 day ago

Republicans keep killing kids :(

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 8 points 1 day ago (1 children)

I wish d**** upon everyone involved in the process. Is that censored enough? It could mean so many 5 letter words that begin with ‘d’.

[–] emmanuel_car@fedia.io 11 points 20 hours ago (2 children)
[–] Imadethis@lemmynsfw.com 2 points 12 hours ago

I'll take some of those. I bet some will even be happy with just one.

[–] SayJess@lemmy.blahaj.zone 6 points 20 hours ago

Damnit! Foiled once again!
