The social change storytelling movement for Allies and
the Queer Community.
Bursting Through is casting aside the belief that safety and good quality of life for your LGBTQIA+ loved ones is the responsibility of politicians or huge non-profit organizations.
That responsibility belongs to all of us.
Allyship is a principal part of the Queer experience but is often neglected, ignored or discounted. Bursting Through awakens all Allies to the power of their voices in creating the loving, accepting, and inclusive world we all want.
Bursting Through connects Allies and their LGBTQIA+ loved ones through the power of storytelling and community. It is a distinctive platform that produces life-changing personal stories of expanded love that reveal new ways of showing up for one other.
Every Bursting Through story is from a member and addresses important issues in our daily lives. Best-loved stories give us a window into the evolution of family values when raising a Queer child, and expose us to churches that affirm and love the LGBTQIA+ Community. Each story shows us a path forward.

Experience the power of Bursting Through stories and the compassion, empathy and love of our storytellers.
Bursting Through is the only place to connect with other Allies, tell and hear life-changing stories that strengthen important relationships, and expand our definitions of love. It is also a safe space to be part of new conversations that create real ways to activate your Allyship. Join the Bursting Through Movement and be part of our innovative community.
Steve Petersen is the founder of Bursting Through, the storytelling movement for Allies and the Queer Community. Steve's 27-year marketing and visual merchandising career took him on a journey from rural Iowa to Fortune 500 companies in Manhattan.
While his professional success informed much of his life’s work, the journey of coming out in his mid-20s cemented his core values of compassion, courage, and change. These values are the heartbeat of the Bursting Through Movement and drive him in his mission to create sustainable safety and equality for the Queer Community.
"My professional and personal experience created a unique combination of skills that allow me to connect deeply and meaningfully with you and your story. Telling your story will leave you with a renewed awareness of yourself, your loved ones, the human experience, and Allyship“
Bursting Through members are the heart of this movement, the storytellers, and the people creating change.
I look forward to connecting, hearing your story, scheduling a workshop for your organization, getting you involved in Bursting Through’s National Out Ally Day, or delivering a powerful keynote for your group.
