And in case you don't know, The Trevor Project is the world’s largest suicide prevention and crisis intervention organization for LGBTQ (lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender, queer, and questioning) young people. And in recent years, with everything going on, the organization has seen a large spike in calls.

Along with highlighting the very important work The Trevor Project does with counseling 24/7, over both the phone and digitally...

...the queens also opened up about their personal struggles and journeys. Like A'Keria, who opened up about how she lived her life for almost a year as a women, until she discovered she identifies as man.

Or Soju, who got honest and spoke about bullying gay kids in high school in order to make people think she wasn't gay, and also because she resented those kids being open about who they are.

While Silky opened up about feeling loved and supported by her community, but feeling isolated 'cause she didn't really have anyone to talk to about struggles she was going through internally.

All I can say is: You're all winners, babies! We stan queens using their platform to raise awareness!!!
