To think that talking to an LGBTQ operative over the phone at your lowest moment is connecting with someone who's shared the same pain is ****ing idiotic.

Get a grip of normality.

I think you’re the one being idiotic to be perfectly honest with that mindset.

If a gay person is feeling suicidal because they are struggling dealing with being gay (could be a number of reasons why, but let’s say because they are from a homophobic family and terrified to come out which is making them depressed leading them to feel suicidal) then calling a line dedicated to lgbqt+ to speak with people who may have been through similar or can understand what’s it’s like to deal with coming out of course they are more likely to go to them for guidance/help.

You’ll never experience it (luckily) but before coming out life is quite terrifying and really sits heavy on your shoulders and mental health worrying about how everyone will react. And this is as a teenager/young adult. I count myself lucky I had no issues when I did come out. But not everyone is so lucky, especially if they are surrounded by people who are homophobic.
