No organization or person can stop me from personally talking about #PrideMonth and the strength and amazingness of the LGBTQ+ community. Why? Because, for some, it's literally life or death. That matters more to me than my comfort or the comfort of large organizations who will do just fine whether or not they support us. And if a company or person doesn't want me to personally advocate for human beings to stay alive and for marginalized communities to be treated equitably, that's a "them" problem, not a "me" problem. I'll sleep just fine at night, knowing I'm standing up for what's right and good in this world and standing up for all of God's children -- especially those most vulnerable. Here are some stats from The Trevor Project that you should read through, reflect on, and take action to improve. The facts are that anti-LGBTQ+ rhetoric and policies are hurting LGBTQ+ people, especially youth. We should all want our children to survive and thrive. That should not be controversial.

When Bursting Through POPS-UP at events, we share that 55% of the adult U.S. population self-identify as Allies of the LGBTQ+ Community, and 7.1% self-identify as LGBTQ+. We then ask people to share what being or having an Ally means to them. People show up and become Bursting Through Messengers who want to be heard, witnessed, and connected through shared humanity. Bursting Through makes it easy for people to put powerful positive messages into the world. We ALWAYS end the event with a full wall of messages. Read this month's messages https://lnkd.in/g4ktvteZ and email steve@burstingthrough.gay to get Bursting Through to POP UP at your business, event, or social group. Together we can create the more caring and connected society we all deserve. #LGBTQAlly #AllyshipAwakenings #BurstingThrough #SocialChange #Storytelling #DiversityandInclusion #QueerCommunity #SupportLGBTQ #NetworkForGood #MakeADifference #letsconnect #connection #connectedsociety

MLK Day and Inauguration Day coincide this year, reminding us of two truths: the power of leadership and the responsibility we all share in shaping the future. As LGBTQ+ individuals navigating a world where progress isn’t guaranteed, we are reminded of Dr. King’s call to ‘make a career of humanity.’ Let’s invest in our futures—financially, professionally, and personally—to build a world that reflects his vision of equality and justice for all. This year, let’s prioritize growth and advocacy, both in our communities and our own financial journeys. Let’s focus on community and empowering ourselves to fight against this incoming administration. How will you take action for progress in 2025? 🌟💪 #MLKDay2025 #LeadershipAndJustice #LGBTQFinance

Being a true LGBTQ+ ally involves three key components: 1. Acceptance: Making people feel safe and supported. 2. Action: Advocating for the group, raising awareness, and defending the group. 3. Humility: Being a good listener, open to correction, and willing to learn. Preaching diversity and inclusion without these factors is performative, but you can change how you show up or change your language. Read more... https://lnkd.in/erf_R8Pz
