Man, I really see now why Bezos left her. Shes a good person. Still so crazy he left this beautiful, nice, woman for whatever it is he has now. Rich people are fucking weird.

Early on he was likely just a very irritating dork. No money, no power. He may have been just as evil, but I would guess it presented differently at one point.

Money changes people. Not saying he was a bastion of morality, but he probably wasn't nearly as bad.

From a different article:

The Trevor Project operates a 24-hour hotline and digital crisis services for LGBTQ+ young people, reaching about 250,000 individuals annually.

Until last summer, it also staffed a specialized option within the 988 National Suicide & Crisis Lifeline tailored for LGBTQ+ callers.

That program ended in July after the Trump administration halted targeted federal funding, costing the organization about $25 million.
