Is there anything more powerful than going to work every day and saving a life?

That’s exactly what The Trevor Project does. They work 24 hours a day — seven days a week to save the lives of young LGBTQ people.

No one should ever feel like their lives aren’t valued, and that’s why I’m supporting The Trevor Project and their mission to be there for every single one of the young LGBTQ people who are in crisis. Will you join us and support LGBTQ youth in crisis?

When I was younger I stood out because of who I was. Since then, I’ve spent my career fighting for positive change — and now I’m asking you to do the same.

There are millions of young LGBTQ people out there who are struggling and looking for support. 44% of Black LGBTQ youth seriously considered suicide in the past 12 months — that’s at least three times the rate of a heterosexual youth. We can’t ignore these heartbreaking facts.

We must come together and be a beacon of light for LGBTQ youth — we must show them they’re not alone, we support them, and they can be proud of their true selves.

That’s the power of The Trevor Project, Friend. We offer young LGBTQ people a place to feel accepted and supported through moments of crisis.

Please join me today and together let’s show young LGBTQ people: you are seen and you are loved. Every single one.

In solidarity and with thanks,
