The Trevor Project "operates the nations only 24/7 crisis & suicide prevention helpline for gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender and questioning youth." If you are a GLBTQ teen in crisis, feeling alone, depressed, or suicidal, please call The Trevor Helpline now. YOU ARE WORTH IT.
I saw this over at
Green Mountain Jamie. For all the pain and pangs I went through as a gay adolescent, coming out wasn't that difficult or traumatic. Sometimes it's easy to forget that for a lot of other kids dealing with their sexuality can be just horrible. Regardless of our varying opinions on homosexuality, I don't think anyone wants to see a kid who doesn't feel like he or she has anywhere to go or someone to talk to.
They're looking for word of the event to be spread, so spread it like Heinz Deli Mayo people! (
I'm gonna get a lot of mileage outta that commercial):
