Jim Parsons is blasting President Donald Trump’s administration for shutting down one of the nation’s crisis hotlines, which offered tailored support for LGBTQ youth and young adults.

Fast forward to July 2025, and Parsons is once again making headlines, this time, calling out President Donald Trump’s recent decision to axe the LGBTQ‑specific “Press 3” option on the U.S. 988 suicide-prevention hotline.

Actor Jim Parsons says the Trump administration's decision to terminate the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline’s LGBTQ Youth Specialized Services program is "quite literally criminal." The program gave callers under age 25 the option to speak with LGBTQ-trained counselors.
