They are personal truths of love, compassion, and empathy expressed by LGBTQ+ Allies like you. Each person proclaims their Allsyhip beliefs and/or values after they learn that 55% of the adult U.S. population self-identify as Allies of the LGBTQ+ Community and 9.3% self-identify as LGBTQ+, and then asked what Allyship means to them.

They are open-hearted, articulate, and fierce LGBTQ+ Allies who make Declarations of Allyship at Bursting Through Live events.  They either love someone who is LGBTQ+, are part of the Queer Community, or both. The only requirement to becoming a Bursting Through Messenger is love in your heart and the desire to share that love broadly. 

People show up and become Bursting Through Messengers because they need to be heard, witnessed, and connected through love and shared humanity.  They have something powerful in their heads and hearts that needs to be captured and put into words and the world. 

Each Declaration helps create the caring and connected society we all deserve and says, “I am a safe person and create a safe space for anyone LGBTQ+.”  They are also physical representations that we share many values.  

Every message is added to the Bursting Through Declaration of Allyship library.  To date, we have over 700 messages.  The big vision is to transform them into a powerful art installation.  

An installation that will travel the world reaffirming that our collective love, values, and desire to live in a connected society are stronger than the hate we now face. 

If you know an organization, corporation, or community group interested in sponsoring the big vision or having it at their facility, use the button below to reach out. The only way to combat hate is with love, and putting our powerful loving messages into the world requires funding.
