I HAVE SEEN A SMALL BIT OF CRITICISM ABOUT THIS STREAM HAVING A LIST OF SUICIDE HOTLINES BY COUNTRY IN THE DESCRIPTION. THE INTERNET IS MOSTLY A WORLDWIDE USED THING. PEOPLE FROM AROUND THE WORLD NEED HELP AND ARE STRUGGLING, NOT JUST THE US AMERICANS. HAVING THIS LISTED MAKES THE ABILITY TO GET HELP MORE INCLUSIVE FOR THOSE WHO NEED IT. FOR THOSE UNAWARE, A SUICIDE HOTLINE IS A NUMBER PEOPLE CAN CALL OR TEXT IF THEY ARE FEELING SUICIDAL. VOLUNTEERS OR EMPLOYEES OF THESE HOTLINES WILL LISTEN TO YOUR PROBLEMS AND TRY TO CONVINCE YOU NOT TO KYS. THIS IS A VENT STREAM FOR LGBTQ+ PEOPLE. IT WAS NOT CREATED SPECIFICALLY TO DEAL WITH THE US ELECTION. HOWEVER, THIS ELECTION SEASON HAS BEEN CAUSING MANY LGBTQ+ KIDS, TEENS, AND ADULTS A LOT OF STRESS/FEAR. BECAUSE OF THIS, I DECIDED TO MAKE THIS STREAM’S EXISTENCE KNOWN SO THEY CAN VENT AND GET HELP IF NEEDED.
