This month’s sponsor: Ben and Keith, known as The Two Gay Geeks, are a gay couple of 27 years whose podcast, TG Geeks Webcast, as well as their website, TGGeeks.com, have highlighted and showcased some very bright and budding talent, including new and independent filmmakers, artists, and writers and other independent organizations, conventions, and the like. Currently, The Two Gay Geeks are on a much needed hiatus but will return again soon. In the interim, they have asked Fanbase Press to highlight several worth-while organizations throughout the month.
Today, we will highlight Trans Lifeline. If you are trans or are questioning your gender identity and if you are in crisis, or are feeling isolated and need someone to talk to, or you know of someone in a similar situation, there is a special hotline just for you. TransLifeLine.org is staffed by trained counselors who are transgender themselves. Those in the US may call 877.565.8860, and those in Canada may call 877.330.6366. You can also visit TranslifeLine.org to learn about the important work they are doing. Please reach out for help, you are not alone.
