John Gunn, PhD

🏳️‍🌈 Excited to share our new article in the Journal of LGBTQ Issues in Counseling on how affirming state laws are linked to lower suicide risk among LGBQ youth.

Grateful to collaborate with Ryan Robertson & @jgunniii.bsky.social. Our findings show policy is prevention!

One of my favorite holiday traditions. Watching #SingleAllTheWay with @michaelurie.bsky.social and Philemon Chambers. Gods I love this movie!!

It makes me feel sick that he's probably going to be a front runner for the Democratic ticket in the future.

Starting the Court of Broken Bonds by @benaldersonauthor.bsky.social on audiobook. So far very enjoyable. Have really enjoyed his books so far and highly recommend for those who like fantasy and 🌈 stories!

I have, in the face of Trump, pushed voting blue no matter who. But the cowardice and weakness I'm seeing now. Not this time!

You cannot possibly think that this level of ineptitude to combat Trump and his ilk is going to lead to any turnout at the midterms. Who is going to be motivated to show up for the cowards whimpering in the corner and asking Republicans to please play fair?!?

Maybe we can distract him with junky food, and by doing so, stop him from absolutely wrecking health and well-being in this country.

Love seeing the continued good work coming out of the @njgvrc.bsky.social

I always wondered what would happen in the superhero movies if the villain wins. Horrifyingly, this is real life!

GOP lawmakers pass bill allowing child genital exams without parental consent - LGBTQ Nation And that was actually an improvement over a previous version of the bill.

This is absolutely disgusting and opens the door to abuse and trauma.

So disgusted with this country.

Love me some numbers!

Schiff on transgender athletes: Confident that ‘local communities’ can ‘make decisions’ to ensure sports ‘safe,’ ‘fair’ Sen. Adam Schiff (D-Calif.) said Sunday he’s confident local communities can make their own decisions about whether to let trans athletes participate in women’s sports in a way that is “safe” and “…

Dems will lose my support real quick if they continue down the road of abandoning Trans folks to focus on "the real issues" Americans care about.

Wonder if this improves the male reptile odds of finding them.

NIH terminating active research grants related to LGBTQ+, DEI studies The National Institutes of Health is terminating several active research grants related to studies involving LGBTQ+ issues, gender identity and DEI.

New German, Swiss, And Austrian Guidelines Recommend Trans Youth Care, Slam Cass Review The recommendations, released by the Association of the Scientific Medical Societies in Germany, come at a time when US politicians erroneously claim that Europe is "pulling back" on transgender care.

1. Major news in transgender care.

Germany, Switzerland, and Austria have just released their trans youth care guidelines.

They strongly recommend trans youth care and slam the
Cass Review in England.

Europe is not "pulling back" on trans care.

It happens!! There are so many quotes I've used over the years and then gone back and discovered that they weren't actually from the people I thought they were from!

Sad to see @rowanuniversity.bsky.social abandoning DEI - clear indication that they were never invested in it in the first place.

I agree with your statement, but this isn't something Darwin said or would have likely believed.

It is consuming a lot of my daily bandwidth!!!

Excited to be presenting some of my research on theoretical perspectives of suicide and bullying at the Eastern Psychological Association conference in NYC on Saturday!

Agreed

I hope the center is doing alright with the attacks on funding! Such important work.

I will never EVER be party to bullying our kids. I’ll keep standing up to those who try to make them political targets.

That was true yesterday, is true now, and will be true tomorrow. FULL STOP.

Every day comes with more waves of nausea and fury.

New study on co-designed web-based support for suicidal ideation

AP could have been cowardly and rolled over for Trump.

“We had to comply or we’d lose [funding/access/privileges]” like so many orgs are doing.

It would have been easy for them to say “gulf of America”

But it never stops there.

They got the memo. Good job AP.

The image shows a webpage from the Whitman-Walker Health website, captured via the Wayback Machine on January 23, 2025. The page highlights healthcare services, specifically "Peer Support," with a background image of two men engaged in conversation—one with a beard and a brown hat, the other in a light-colored shirt. At the top, the Whitman-Walker logo and the tagline "we need you." are displayed, along with two contact phone numbers: 202.745.7000 and 202.978.6123. Below the main banner, a "Services Menu" is visible, listing various healthcare services: Health Services Smart Immediate Care Gender Affirming Care Women’s Health Pediatrics – Care for Young People This webpage suggests that Whitman-Walker Health provides comprehensive healthcare services, including specialized care for different populations.

The image displays a menu of healthcare services on a blue background. The title "Services" is at the top, followed by a list of offerings, including: Primary Care HIV/STI Prevention & Care Behavioral Health Dental Health SMART Immediate Care Telehealth Accepted Insurance Insurance Navigation Legal Services Community Resources Below the list, there are three buttons labeled: "Become a Patient" "Pharmacy" "Patient Portal" The design appears to be from a healthcare provider's website or digital platform, offering medical and support services to patients.

NEW: Whitman Walker, a LGBTQ health center in Washington DC, has scrubbed its site of descriptions of gender affirming care services.

This is pure cowardice and stabbing the trans community in the back. While services are not affected, it will limit access to resources if patients can't find them.

I'm finding myself rewatching the freedom speech from G'kar from #Babykon5. Seems like it's very timely.
