Dan Reynolds has the biggest heart in the world! The world needs more people with loving and accepting souls like him. His acceptance speech for his Hero Award at TrevorLIVE was tearful and extremely personal. His introduction included a speech from the lead singer of Neon Trees, Tyler Glen. Tyler talked about how Imagine Dragons was the opening act for Neon Trees and Nico Vega which is the first time Dan met his future wife, Aja Volkman. The introduction also included a video from a fan as well as some posts from Twitter. They even included one of my tweets!
Dan introduced an Imagine Dragons charity concert called Love Loud to benefit The Trevor Project. The concert will be held in Provo, Utah on August 26, 2017. I most likely will not be able to attend the concert but I will be there in my heart.

Chatting live about Imagine Dragons!
The concert almost didn't happen! The band was delayed over 2 hours on the runway due to bad storms. Turner Pope posted that it took them 3 different airports to find a flight out during the storms.

The concert that followed was a very beautiful and unique acoustic show. Dan giggled instead of doing the breath at the beginning of Radioactive. He called the song the bane of his existence! (Jokingly!)
The live stream had stops and starts but worked perfectly during the concert.
I searched to find the words to thank Dan. The music of Imagine Dragons has always helped me say the words I couldnt say myself. Helped me find a voice. Helped me cope with the pain of being born with my sexuality, asexuality, that only 1% of people share and almost no one understands. It's very lonely sometimes. Even my own family doesn't accept me, making my family of Dragons that much more special. Thank you Dan, for writing the words, "I'm never changing who I am." Thank you for showing your heart to the world. People speaking with such honesty and love is such a rare occasion.
Knowing that there is someone out there that cares and loves unconditionally is a life saver.

Maddie Larson gave me permission to quote her Instagram thank you to Dan Reynolds and I couldn't have said it better myself!
"I wanted to take a moment to in some way, try to begin to express the love and gratitude I contain for this man. @DanReynolds you have inspired millions of different people across the globe in a million different ways. You have taught us that no matter the skin color we wear, what ethnicity we are born into, or even what sexuality we are, we bleed the same red blood as all. That we are all equal human beings, who are just as relevant on all scales. You have taught us not to see the enemy as an enemy, but as someone who is suffocating by hate, and is in the desperate need to be shown what love is. You have taught us to love our neighbor despite the diversity the world frowns upon them for. You have taught us that no one can steal the purity of hope and love which we own in our hearts, and in our mind, because it's sacred, protected, and ours. You have taught us to hold hands out of love instead of fists for war. And, you have taught us that it is not about how many buildings of spirits one can destroy, but it is about many can join together and construct them. Love is love. Thank you, and I'm so proud of you. You deserved The Trevor Project Award so very much."
