Another Gay, Inc. project is in Trump’s crosshairs. And it’s about time.

Once again, the media has rolled out its favorite script: “Trump hates gays.” Cue the panic from Gay, Inc. and liberal media masquerading as newsrooms.

You’ve probably seen the breathless headlines claiming President Trump is out to defund LGBTQ+ suicide hotlines. And, as always, the usual suspects—HRC, GLAAD, and the Trevor Project—are trotted out to declare the end of civilization is nigh.

But let’s slow down and actually take a look at what’s going on.

The Trevor Project runs an LGBTQ youth suicide hotline. They claim to handle about 231,000 calls a year—funded with roughly $9.3 million in taxpayer money. That breaks down to about $40 per call. I’ll let the customer service professionals decide if that’s an efficient use of resources.

But here’s what they don’t tell you: that money doesn’t come directly from the federal government. It comes through a middleman—Vibrant Emotional Health, aka the Mental Health Association of New York City. This group gets a massive $265 million from the Department of Health and Human Services and acts as a passthrough to dozens of nonprofits—including Trevor Project.

After handing out $158 million, Vibrant keeps the rest to run their own programs, like a mental health hotline for NFL players. (Yes, really.) But let’s not get sidetracked.

Here’s the part that doesn’t make the headlines: the executive paychecks. The Trevor Project has seven executives making over $240,000, including a CEO pulling in $635,566 a year. Vibrant’s executives are also generously compensated, all in the name of “mental health.”

And what about COVID-era giveaways like PPP loans and ERC tax credits? You guessed it—millions more taxpayer dollars went out the door.

Now, if you’re wondering where all that taxpayer-funded largesse ends up, just follow the political donations. No doubt you will find that these execs are regular donors to Democrat politicians. It’s a tale as old as Washington: tax dollars fund NGOs, NGOs fund campaigns, campaigns keep the cash flowing. Rinse. Repeat.

No one is saying suicide prevention isn’t important—especially for LGBT youth. But when only a fraction of your tax dollars actually go to the service being advertised, it’s time for accountability.

This isn’t about cutting off help. It’s about cutting off corruption. And if Donald Trump wants to clean house? I say hand him the broom.
