Center, Los Angeles CA)
Many years ago, I asked God, "Why are queer kids
born to intolerant families?" Softly, simply, He
answered, "To increase their capacity to love." ~ To
increase the queer child's capacity to love beyond the
fear of rejection and pain and to increase their
families' (and communities') capacity to love beyond the
fear of damnation and shame. ~ Love. And if you are
unable to love, be willing to love; Divine Love will
take care of the rest and enable you to be as Love too.

gets better..."
A Message to Queer Youth from Fort Worth City
Councilman Joel Burns
Queer kids, the Councilman
is right. Had the founder of the NSPD been
successful in her suicide attempts as a child and
teen, this resource would not be before you now.
The primary motivation behind the creation of the
National Suicide Prevention Directory was the
prevention of such among LGBT/GLBT children, teens
and youth. It does and it WILL get better; for you
and, as a result (case in point), for countless
others!!

Note: The MÈRE Project
highly advocates and prefers youth crisis
intervention programs that primarily serve
families, directly promoting and facilitating
communication between parents/adults and youth
and/or the bonds and internal transformations
that promote increased familial communication
without requiring measures such as those
provided by organizations found in this section
of this resource. Organizations seeking link
exchanges in this area, please regard this note
before submitting your link exchange proposal to
us; we are very careful about providing only
links to organizations that directly serve
families rather than primarily treating
individuals.
