LGBTQ+ crisis hotlines report uptick in calls after Trump victory
Briefly

"We are receiving these calls out of fear. Fear that we will lose our children to suicide and fear of the challenges this new administration will set up for us."
"The Trevor Project saw a 125 percent increase in calls, texts and chat messages on Election Day and on Wednesday, when compared with a regular day."
"Across the country, organizations and crisis hotlines catering to LGBTQ+ youths and adults have reported a staggering uptick in calls in the run-up to the election and since Trump's resounding victory."
"Community leaders said those reaching out expressed a growing sense of loneliness and isolation, worry about losing access to gender-affirming care, and fear of being physically harmed by someone because of their gender or sexual identity."
