What is life like for gay teens in America today? Although we’ve made incredible gains in the past decade in bringing about social gains, political and religious acceptance still drag far behind.

Ten years ago three filmmakers aired on HBO a dark comedy short called “Trevor” about a teenage boy who attempts suicide when he realizes he’s gay.

The producers of “Trevor” looked for a national hotline to cater to any queer and questioning youth who might have some concerns after finding something of themselves in the short film. After a short search, they were surprised to find that there wasn’t any such service available so they started The Trevor Project, which is the now the nation’s premier 24-hour hotline for gay, lesbian, trans, bi, and questioning youth in crisis.
1-866-4-U-TREVOR (1-866-488-7386).

Listen on as we talk to Charles Robbins, the Executive director for the Trevor Project about why gay teens more than ever at risk for suicide, how to find allies in your neck of the woods and why Hollywood A-list celebrities love this cause.
