Crisis hotlines saw an increase in calls following the election…including the National Suicide Prevention Lifeline and the Trevor Project’s suicide hotline for gay youth. Trevor Project executive director Steve Mendelsohn said callers were concerned about their rights under a President Trump. During the campaign, he suggested he would overturn marriage equality and his vice president, Mike Pence, has been called “one of the most anti-gay governors in the nation.” The Trans Lifeline, a crisis hotline for transgender people, received a record amount of calls on Tuesday and early Wednesday and is calling for more resources to keep up with the overwhelming demand.
