Us! The Bursting Through Community

Before we go further, let’s define the Bursting Through Community. Very simply, we are the LGBTQIA+ Community and its Allies. Together we are the Bursting Through Community.

Here at Bursting Through we’ve been thinking a lot about where we are in our shared journey as opposed to where we want to be. We know that maintaining open hearts and minds plus taking action is how we move forward. And we recognize that moving forward is NOT always easy.

Like many communities, the Bursting Through Community (LGBTQIA+ and Allies) is composed of smaller groups: individuals, families, couples, businesses and non-profits as well as subgroups that identify by gender, sexuality and physiology: lesbian, gay, bi, trans, queer, intersex, asexual, two-spirit, straight and more.

Through our work, Bursting Through engages with these smaller community units. In doing so we’ve noticed a space growing between them that is creating an unintentional and harmful void. We need to first acknowledge that void. Secondly we need to fill it. That is the Extraordinary Action we are called to quite urgently, today.
