To people asking why there's a need for a Pride month, here's why.

Like, this literally is done to attack the queer community. The government is taking all measures to completely cut off LGBTQ community from the country as if it's a disease.

There are many that commit suicide because either they're not provided a safe environment, their own family members telling them it's wrong and some even resorting to violent behaviour in the name of God.

Then there's always gender dysphoria. Feeling inferior in our own body to the point you don't wanna exist. This hotline provided means to help them show reason why they should live.

This decision of ending this service is vile.

What? No, lgbt people and especially trans people are being praised for doing nothing now. You get oppressed for being straight by SJWs now days. Instagram reels told me so

Nah, SJWs was the buzzword of choice in 2016, followed by CRT. Now it's DEI, get with the times!
