Pedro Pascal, Ariana Grande and other Celebrity sign an open letter in support of the LGBTQ+ American community

The voice of the US stars against the Donald Trump policies He began to be felt well before the election to President of the United States and from his arrival to the White House, dissent has expanded more every day, especially as regards social issues.

It is of the last few days the last position of Pedro Pascal, Ariana Grande, Dua Lipa, Paris Hilton and other well -known faces – At the moment over 100 but the list is in continuous updating – signatories of one open letter asks 50 million dollars of federal funds are not cut for 2026 to the prevention programs for the suicide of young LGBTQs+ of the 988 Suicide & Crisis Lifeline.

«We are deeply grieved by the proposal to eliminate these funding, a decision that will have devastating and potentially lethal consequences for young people from all over the country. As artists, creators and public characters, our platforms have a responsibility. And today this responsibility is clear: we must make our voices heard to protect the mental health and life of young LGBTQ+. We will not remain in silence “, reads the text drawn up following the publication by the press, last April, of a draft law that would aim precisely to stop this very precious service.

Young people belonging to the community LGBTQ+in fact, they would have one probability four times greater than trying suicide than their heterosexual peers and according to the organization Trevor Projectwhich deals with the prevention of suicide in this category of people, over 1.8 million of them every year in the US would seriously consider the option and every 45 seconds someone would try to do it concretely.

In this emergency situation, the plan at risk of closure, which since then has put in touch almost 1.3 million young people who lived moments of difficulty with specialized operators.

«Deleting this still salvation launches the message that their lives do not deserve to be saved but we refuse to accept it – continues the letter that also contains a direct message – to every young LGBTQ+ that we are reading we say: you are not alone. We see you. We appreciate you. You have the right to feel safe, supported and loved exactly as you are. You deserve access to life -saving services that honor your humanity. You could suffer. You may be afraid. You may have the feeling that nobody listens to you, but we do. We will continue to be present and make our voices heard. We will not stop fighting for you ».

The desire to interrupt economic support to this service unfortunately does not represent a lightning bolt in a clear sky, considering that Donald Trump has shown his hostility towards the people of the community since the election campaign, which later became the subject of the first executive order of his second term, which on January 20, 2025 established the recognition by the government of only two genres: the male and the female one.

A moment that marked the first step of a series of initiatives aimed at fighting what calls a culture wokeand which since then has seen the cancellation of the programs of Diversity and inclusionthe cut of over 125 million dollars of funds for the health research of lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer people and the clash with many universities, including Harward. Immediate immediately the mobilizations of the stars, including Pedro Pascal and Ariana Grande, who with social posts and public declarations have never missed their support for the LGBTQ+cause.
