Texas abruptly pulls suicide hotline webpage for teens offline after Abbott's opponent criticizes it

This is disgusting. Greg is so scared of losing in a primary that he is willing to let LGBTQ children die https://www.rawstory.com/texas-youth-connection-webpage/

As the report notes, Abbott foe Don Huffines used the existence of the page run by the Department of Family and Protective Services to claim Texas' child welfare agency was "promoting transgender sexual policies to Texas youth," adding "These are not Texas values, these are not Republican Party values, but these are obviously Greg Abbott's values."

Noting that the webpage "linked to a suicide prevention hotline and other resources 'dedicated to helping empower and celebrate" young LGBTQ people,'" the report states that it quickly disappeared.

According to the Chronicle, "Within hours, the webpage was gone. So was the entire website for the Texas Youth Connection, a division of Family and Protective Services that steers young people to various resources, including education, housing and those on its LGBTQ page as they prepare for life after foster care. It was replaced by a message that states, 'The Texas Youth Connection website has been temporarily disabled for a comprehensive review of its content. This is being done to ensure that its information, resources, and referrals are current.'"

We need to replace Greg
