Question with 1 note

Anonymous asked: Do you know of any warmlines in Missouri? (A hotline for people who are not quite in crisis at the moment so they don't feel guilty calling the hotline.)

I’ve never even considered the availability of hotlines like this, and I actually could have used these numbers a couple weeks ago.  What an excellent question, thank you.

The only thing worse than straight men who think that “faggot” is the most offensive thing to call someone is straight men who think “faggot” is the most offensive thing to be called.
