@Raccoondude LOL yea apparently all lgbt people must be depicted in cartoons with colorful hair ::shrug::

I kinda dont like they made it LGBT specific, I was it was more general so people didnt think it was LGBT only.. but eh, they are trying.

@freemo A lot of LGBT people feel isolated, so I suppose its for that

@Raccoondude Yes for sure, and im glad they cater to LGBT and dont doubt they are a huge portion of the people that need the service.

I am just worried a non-LGBT person might see it and think it implies its a LGBT specific hotline and therefore pass it up.

@freemo @Raccoondude the colors sometimes are code signs for shit, like there are other stripe codes for enbys, lesbians and whatever. i dunno if that's why they do it but sometimes it is.

gays especially used to have an obnoxious amount of hidden signs in piercing configurations and other jewelry.

@icedquinn

Yea the "flags" are usually specific symbols for specific orientations or genders. But I often find even when its not cartoons and of LGBT characters always have unnatural colored hair which itself seems to be a strong idication in both cartoons and real life that a person probably isnt CIS-het

@Raccoondude

@Raccoondude Thanks, I hope it helps someone.

@Citrine That is very sad and maddening to hear. so sorry. No excuse for that.

How did they know where you lived?

@freemo A detective who called me beforehand, and asked for my address, saying that a report had been made that someone was abused. At the time I didn't believe it, and refused to give them my address. Around half an hour later the detective showed up, aparently they can get that information pretty fast. I guess they reported it directly to a station close to my area code or something, because it was the same night.

@Citrine I guess the hotline has caller ID and you didnt block your number (not that you should have to, there is an assumption of trust)

@Citrine @freemo Holy crap you are fucking with me?! I JUST talked about my shit, im fucking glad they can't do shit because im an adult

Minors have it rough man

@Citrine @freemo Wait you aren't even a minor??? WTF, I thought therapists can't report CSA if the victim is an adult without their consent

@Raccoondude @freemo I was a minor at the time

@Citrine @freemo Ah, Isee

@Citrine @freemo Yeah sadly minors have a bullshit law that mandatory reporters HAVE to report CSA, adults don't have it for some reason

@Raccoondude @freemo fuck mandatory reporting, any hotline that abides by it cannot be trusted.
