Today is Holocaust Remembrace Day. The pink upside down triangle was tagged with a number on the gay man's striped clothing by the Nazis. The murdering of many homosexuals during the the Holocaust. Take some time to read in their memory.

Welcome

Hi to all,This blogspot is dedicated to talking about issues of the gay, lesbian, bisexual, transgender individuals living in the CNMI. We invite family and friends too, thank you for your kind/loving support.I can not say it better so I will use a quote: "A much more interesting, kind, adventurous, and joyful approach to life is to begin to develop our curiosity, not caring whether the object of our inquisitiveness is bitter or sweet. To lead a life that goes beyond pettiness and prejudice and always wanting to make sure that everything turns out on our own terms, to lead a more passionate, full, and delightful life than that, we must realize that we can endure a lot of pain and pleasure for the sake of finding out who we are and what this world is, how we tick and how our world ticks, how the whole thing just 'is'. If we're committed to comfort at any cost, as soon as we come up against the least edge of pain, we're going to run; we'll never know what's beyond that particular barrier or wall or fearful thing." (Chondoron, 1991) In this blogspot I ask for individuals to be curious, kind, interesting, adventurous, and respectful of others. We can agree and disagree however we can do it in a kind/loving manner.

Thank you,
Island Dyke
