  Bringing the Shovel Down

  Because I love you, and beneath the uncountable stars
  I have become the delicate piston threading itself through your chest,
  
  I crave to tell you a story I shouldn’t but will, and in the meantime neglect, Love,
  the discordant melody spilling from my ears but attend,
  
  instead, to this tale, for a river burns inside my mouth
  and it wants both purgation and to eternally sip your thousand drippings;
  
  and in the story is a dog and unnamed it leads to less heartbreak,
  so name him Max, and in the story are neighborhood kids
  
  who spin a yarn about Max like I’m singing to you, except they say a child,
  a boy who only moments earlier had been wending through sticker bushes
  
  to pick juicy rubies, whose chin was, in fact, stained with them,
  and combining in their story the big kids make

  While Trump cuts suicide hotline for gay kids, California invests in their mental health

  Current landscape

  In September 2022, the Trevor Project started providing LGBTQ youth specialized support through the 988 Lifeline. Federal funding for these specialized services will no longer be free via the 988 program starting on July 17. The Trevor Project estimates that more than 1.8 million LGBTQ young people in the United States seriously consider suicide each year, and at least one attempts suicide every 45 seconds. They also said that their counselors helped about 500,000 people in 2024, 231,000 of which came through the 988 line.

  California resources

  In California, there are 12 centers that have trained crisis counselors to respond to 988 calls/chats/texts from help seekers needing support during suicide/behavioral health crises. Specialized services for LGBTQ youth and adolescent adults can be accessed directly via the Trevor Project by phone/text/chat at 1-866-488-7386.

  Additionally, California offers digital mental health support for youth, young adults, and families via CalHOPE for non-crisis moments. The CalHOPE warm line connects callers to peer counselors who lis

  HOME FREE REVIEW: Queer Man with Down’s Syndrome is Hailed as an ‘Icon’ as He Declares ‘I like men with beards’

  Viewers celebrated a gay dude with Down’s Syndrome after he opened up about his struggles with his sexuality on Channel 4’s Home Free last night.

  Curtis, 27, from London, who has Down’s syndrome, appeared on the documentary, which followed a group of fresh people with study disabilities leaving place for the first time and moving into supported living apartments.

  But while his mother Dale said he was ‘definitely gay’ and became ‘very excited’ when he was around ‘large bearded men’, she also suggested he struggled to cope with female attention, and could often end up ‘confused’ about his feelings.

  Viewers were swift to fall in love with Curtis, with one dubbing him a ‘gay icon’ online.
