As of July 17, the national hotline will stop giving callers the option to connect with counselors trained to work with LGBTQ youths.

A part of a US national suicide prevention hotline that caters for LGBTQ young people says it will soon close, after the Trump administration cut its funding.The administration has accused the service of "radical gender ideology".

The 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline will no longer use its LGBTQ youth service line starting July 17. The Trump administration says the move will "focus on serving all help seekers."
