• Nā kaomi o Pride
• Ke loaʻa ʻana o ke kōkua a me ka lāʻau
• 'He hana hoʻomau'

Ma kahi o ʻehiku mau makahiki i hala aku nei, "Ramone," 28, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ua loaʻa ʻo ia iā ia iho i nā hanana i "ʻaʻole hiki iā ia ke noʻonoʻo mua."

Ua neʻe ʻo ia i New York City mai waho o ka mokuʻāina me ka ʻole o nā pilina pilikino a i ʻole kahi hana, a heʻenalu ka moena mai ke keʻena i kahi keʻena.

I hoʻokahi manawa e uku i ka hoʻolimalima, huli ʻo ia i ka hana ma ke ʻano he escort.

A laila, i kona lā hānau 21, ua aʻo ʻo ia ua ʻike ʻia me ka maʻi HIV. ʻO ka hopena, ua ʻike ʻo ia iā ia iho e noho ana i ka ʻōnaehana home ʻole home ʻole o ke kūlanakauhale.

ʻO Ramone, ka mea i makemake ʻole e ʻike ʻia e kona inoa piha, ʻōlelo ʻo ia i kahi undercurrent e holo nei i loko o kēia wā o ka hoʻololi a me ka hoʻopiʻi he hilinaʻi i nā mea.

ʻOiai ʻo ka hana kaiaulu a me ka hoʻonanea ʻana a me ka pakalōlō ʻaʻole ia he mea keakea i kona ola i kēlā lā i kēia lā, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻo ke kolohe ʻana i ka meth meth ua lilo ia i mea pale nui i kona hiki ke ola i ka mea āna i kapa ai he "ola hana."

"Ua hoʻolauna ʻia mai ʻo Crystal meth iaʻu e ka poʻe ʻaʻohe oʻu hoihoi i ka puʻuwai," i haʻi aku ʻo Ramone iā Healthline. "Mālama mau wau me kekahi o kēia poʻe i kēia lā, i kēlā me kēia manawa i ka mahina polū e kū lākou. ʻOiaʻiʻo, noʻonoʻo wau e pili ana i 'auwē koʻu, ʻaʻole pono wau e pili pili pū me lākou.' Akā aia lākou ma laila ke makemake au i kahi e noho ai, ke loaʻa ʻole iaʻu kekahi, kahi meaʻai, hale. Minamina, aia lākou ma laila. ”

ʻAʻole ʻike ʻia nā ʻike o Ramone i nā miliona o ka poʻe maʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa e noho nei me ka hōʻino a me nā maʻi hoʻohana lāʻau.

ʻO ka 2017 Nūhou Nūhou e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lāʻau a me ke olakino e hōʻike ana he 18.7 miliona mau makahiki he 18 a ʻoi paha i loaʻa kahi maʻi hoʻohana ma ʻAmelika Hui Pū ʻIa. ʻO ka hōʻike like i loaʻa ma kahi o 3 i kēlā me kēia 8 mau kānaka e hakakā nei me ka hilinaʻi ʻana i "nā lāʻau lapaʻau," ma kahi o 3 i ka 4 e noho me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka waiʻona, ʻoiai ʻo 1 i kēlā me kēia 9 poʻe e hana nei i nā mea ʻāpiki i nā lāʻau ʻelua a me nā waiʻona.

Hoʻohui ʻia, loaʻa paha i ka moʻolelo a Ramone nā nods o ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana mai kekahi ʻāpana o ka heluna kanaka: LGBTQ poʻe.

Ma ke ʻano he lālā ponoʻī o ke kaiāulu LGBTQ, hōʻike ʻo Ramone mau ʻike i ke kū kiʻekiʻe o kēia mau maʻi ma waena o nā LGBTQ ʻAmelika.

No ke aha e maʻamau ai kēia mau pilikia i ke kaiāulu LGBTQ ʻoi aku ka nui?

Ua hoʻāʻo nā haʻawina he nui a me nā hana mai nā kākāʻōlelo a me nā mea kākoʻo i ke kula e pane i kēia nīnau paʻakikī no nā makahiki. Mai ka nānā ʻana i ka "bar gay" ma ke ʻano he wahi palekana no ka hōʻuluʻulu ʻana o ka LGBTQ i nā kaomi moʻomeheu i hiki ke waiho i nā poʻe o kēia kaiāulu i ka maʻalahi o ka hoʻohana ʻana i nā lāʻau, he kumumanaʻo paʻakikī, a me nā ʻano nui.

No Ramone, ke noho nei i kēia manawa i ke ola kuoo, a me nā mea ʻē aʻe e like me ia e ʻike nei he LGBTQ, he paio kūpaʻa ia i hoʻokumu ʻia i loko o nā kumu hohonu hohonu.

Nā helu kiʻekiʻe o nā maʻi hoʻohana i nā lāʻau

I Ianuali, ua paʻi ʻia ka noiʻi ma LGBT Health i nā helu kiʻekiʻe loa o nā maʻi hoʻohana lāʻau i waena o nā poʻe o ke kaiāulu LGBTQ.

Ua nānā ka hui noiʻi o ke Kulanui o Michigan i ka ʻike ma 2012-2013 mai ka National Epidemiological Survey on Alcohol and Related Conditions-III. Ma loko o ka nui o ka poʻe 36,309 i nānā ʻia, ma kahi o 6 pākēneka i hāʻule ma lalo o ka mahele o nā "sexities minorities," ʻo ia hoʻi ʻaʻole lākou i ʻike he heterosexual.

Ua ʻike nā kānaka noiʻi ʻo ka poʻe i ʻike he wahine wahine a male kāne paha ma mua o ʻelua mau manawa ma mua o ka poʻe i ʻike ʻia he heterosexual ka loaʻa ʻana o kahi maʻi ʻona "ʻino" a paka paha, ʻoiai ʻo ka poʻe i ʻike ʻia he bisexual ʻekolu manawa ka loaʻa ʻana o kēia. ʻano maʻi maʻi hoʻohana.

ʻO ka poʻe i maopopo ʻole pehea e ʻike ai i ko lākou ʻano moekolohe he ʻelima mau manawa ke loaʻa kahi maʻi hoʻohana ma mua o ka poʻe heterosexual.

"Ua ʻike mākou he nui aku ka nui o ka nui o nā poʻe LGB (wahine wahine, wahine kāne a wahine paha), akā ʻo kēia ka noiʻi mua e hōʻike i ka nui o nā maʻi ʻona, nā maʻi hoʻohana paka, a me nā maʻi hoʻohana lāʻau e pili ana i nā pae diagnostics (DSM -5) me ka hoʻohana ʻana i kahi laʻana lunamakaʻāinana o US, ”ʻo Carol Boyd, PhD, RN, he polofesa ma ke Kula Kaiwi o Ke Kula Nui ʻo Michigan, i haʻi aku iā Healthline.

Ua wehewehe ʻo Boyd i ka loiloi loa o nā noiʻi i hala. ʻO kahi laʻana, ʻo ka poʻe e hana nei i kēia ʻano noiʻi e hōʻiliʻili pinepine i nā kāne kāne kāne ma nā kaola kī a nīnau iā lākou e pili ana i ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lāʻau.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia e nānā wale kekahi mau noiʻi kahiko i ka waiʻona a ʻaʻohe lāʻau ʻona a me nā mea hoʻohui ʻē aʻe.

Eia nō naʻe, he aha ka mea i kū hoʻokahi ai kēia noi ʻana no ka nānā ʻana i ka wai ʻona, paka, a me nā lāʻau.

ʻO kā Boyd hoʻopaʻa haʻawina he mau makapō kona. ʻO kahi laʻana, aia kekahi mau hiʻohiʻona alohilohi mai ka acronym LGBTQ.

Ua hoʻomaopopo ʻo Boyd ʻaʻole i nānā kāna noiʻi i nā lālā o ke kaiāulu transgender, kapa ʻia he "āpau kaulana" i ka noiʻi e "pono ​​e hoʻopiha ʻia e nā noiʻi e hiki mai ana."

Ua hoʻohui ʻo ia, "I ka wā e hiki mai ana, pono nā noiʻi e nīnau i nā mea pane e pili ana i ka moekolohe i hāʻawi ʻia iā lākou i ka wā hānau, a inā kūlike paha kēia me kā lākou kāne," i hoʻohui ʻo ia.

ʻOiai ʻo kā Boyd hoʻopaʻa noiʻi ʻana ʻaʻole i nānā i nā maʻi hoʻohana lāʻau i loko o ka transgender heluna, ua loaʻa kekahi mau mea ʻē aʻe.

Ua ʻike ʻia kahi hōʻike i ʻike ʻia mai ka ʻikepili mai ka 2013-2015 Kaleponi Health Kids Survey (CHKS) i nā haumāna transgender ma kahi o 2 1/2 mau manawa e hoʻohana paha i nā lāʻau e like me ka methamphetamines a me ka cocaine ma mua o kā lākou mau hoa cisgender.

Ua haʻi ʻo Heather Zayde, LCSW, kahi limahana lapaʻau a me psychotherapist i hoʻokumu ʻia ma Brooklyn, iā Healthline no ka poʻe ʻōpio i ke kaiāulu LGBTQ, ʻoiaʻiʻo ka hiki no nā maʻi hoʻohana lāʻau.

"No kēia poʻe ʻōpio, aia ka makaʻu o ke komo ʻana i loko o kahi kaiāulu e ʻike ai lākou e hōʻole nei iā lākou," wahi a Zayde. "Ua nui nā hana e neʻe nei i ke ala kūpono, me ka ʻae ʻia o nā poʻe āpau, akā aia kekahi mau leka mai ka pelekikena o kēia manawa, no kahi laʻana, kahi e lohe ai nā keiki i nā mea weliweli e hele mai ana mai ke alakaʻi - paʻakikī loa ia, no kēlā mau mea keiki ʻaʻole kūpono i loko. ”

Ua kuhikuhi ʻo ia e makaʻu pinepine kēia poʻe ʻōpio i ka ʻae ʻole ʻia e ka poʻe kokoke iā lākou, mai ko lākou ʻohana a hiki i kā lākou mau hoa. No kēia mau keiki, ʻaʻohe "pakele mai kēlā makaʻu" o ka hōʻole ʻia, a pinepine ka lilo ʻana o nā mea i mea maʻalahi no lākou e kōkua i ka hoʻoponopono ʻana i ko lākou mau naʻau.

Nā kaomi o Pride

ʻO Iune 2019 ka makahiki 50 o nā haunaele Stonewall Inn ma New York City, kahi manawa wai i ka moʻolelo LGBTQ, i kekahi hapa, ua hoʻoulu i nā makahiki he nui o ka ʻike nui a me ka activism i ke kaiāulu LGBTQ.

ʻO nā palaka wale nō mai Stonewall, hana ʻo Joe Disano ma ke ʻano he aʻoaʻo aʻoaʻo ʻino ma ka Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual a me Transgender Community Center (ʻike ʻia ʻo The Center) ma ke kaiāulu o West Village ma New York City.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Disano i ka mōʻaukala he nui ka poʻe LGBTQ i manaʻo he "stigmatized" lākou i nā wahi palekana i nā wahi o ka pō a me nā kaola.

He mea ia a ke kamaʻāina o New York City ʻo "Mark," 42, ka mea i makemake e ʻike ʻole ʻia e kona inoa piha, maopopo maopopo iā ia.

Ke ola nei i kēia mau makahiki he 2 1/2 i ke ola ʻana mai ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lāʻau a me ka ʻalekohola, ua hoʻomanaʻo ʻo Mark, he kāne kāne ia i ke ʻano o kona hoʻomaka mua ʻana e hele i nā kī kīkā ma ke ʻano he ʻōpio makua.

Mai Cincinnati, Ohio, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mark ua puka mua ʻo ia i ona lā ma ke ʻano he kāne kāne ma hope o kona puka ʻana mai ke kula kiʻekiʻe. Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he hui pūʻulu ko kāna hale pule kahi e hiki ai i ka poʻe ʻōpio ke ʻākoakoa a me ka palekana, akā i kona wā ʻelemakule, ua kahakaha ʻo ia i "kahi o nā kāne ʻē aʻe āpau - ka pā."

"No laila, ʻo 20 mau makahiki e hiki mai ana, ʻo nā mea āpau aʻu i ʻike ai inā ʻoe he wahine kāne, hele ʻoe i nā kīleka a me nā kalapu," i haʻi ʻo ia iā Healthline. "I loko o nā makahiki, ua paʻa wale ʻoe. ʻAʻohe āu koho. Me he mea lā 'he kāne kāne ʻoe, eia kahi ʻōmole, eia kahi ʻeke.' "

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia i kēia manawa ke ola nei ʻo ia, ua ʻike ʻo ia i kahi ola kaiaulu i hala e pili ana i nā lāʻau āpau a me ka waiʻona kekahi mea i kōkua iā ia e noʻonoʻo ʻole.

I ko Mark ʻike ʻana, ke hele nei i ke ola ma ke ʻano he kāne kāne no ka huki ʻana i nā ukana ʻuhane i kanu ʻia i loko o kāna subconscious - hopohopo a me nā ʻeha mai ka hoʻomāinoino a me ka hōʻole.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he mea kēia e hiki ai i nā poʻe LGBTQ he nui e like me ia iho ke huli i ka hoʻohana lāʻau i mea e pakele ai i ko lākou ʻeha.

"Loaʻa i nā poʻe āpau kahi pae o ka ʻeha ʻeha a lākou e hali ai, akā manaʻo wau he male kāne a wahine paha, aia kekahi mau mea a mākou e hali nei. E like me, aia kekahi mau koho ʻē aʻe, akā ʻaʻole ʻoe e ʻimi iā lākou, hele ʻoe i ka hui, hele ʻoe i ka pā, no laila ke manaʻo nei wau inā ʻo ia wale nō kāu e hana nei, he luku maoli ia, "wahi āna.

No Mark ua pau kēia inu ʻana a me ka hoʻohana ʻana i ka lāʻau i loko o ke ʻano kaumaha kaumaha, a hiki i kahi i lilo ai nā manaʻo suicidal i "noʻonoʻo."

Hoʻomanaʻo ʻo ia pehea, ma hope o hoʻokahi hopena pule o ke kalapu ʻana, ua hoʻoholo ʻo ia e ʻimi no ke kōkua. Ua hele ʻo ia i kahi hālāwai ma The Center ma Nu Ioka, a ua pā ʻia e ka ʻoiaʻiʻo ua hui ʻo ia me kekahi mau kāne ʻē aʻe i makemake ʻole e ʻona iaʻu a i ʻole lāʻau lāʻau [a e hoʻāʻo wale nei e ʻike i kahi ala mai kēia, pū kekahi. "

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mark, ʻo kekahi o kāna mau pilikia nui loa i ka makemake e ola i kahi ola noʻonoʻo e hiki mai ana i ka hopena me ka "normalized" kiʻekiʻe o nā lāʻau i hoʻohana i kona ola a ua "skewed" kāna kuanaʻike.

No ia, ʻo kahi ʻāpana o ke ola sober ke kumu o ke aʻo ʻana i kekahi mau ʻano hana āna i ʻae ai ma ke ʻano he ʻāpana o kahi "ʻano" pō i waho ʻaʻole ia ka mea maʻamau.

"ʻO kahi laʻana, somebody overdosing ma ka papa hula, ua manaʻo wau he mea maʻamau ia, e like me kaʻu e aʻo hou ʻaʻole maʻamau no ka poʻe e overdosing ana a hāʻule i ko lākou alo, a hele pū me ka makaʻu ʻole. Lawe iaʻu i loko o ka hoʻihoʻi e aʻo ai i ka 'a, ʻaʻole maʻamau kēlā,' "wahi a Mark.

I kēia manawa, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mark ua mahalo ʻo ia i kāna kuanaʻike hou a me ka hiki ke komo pū me ka poʻe ma kahi kiʻekiʻe me ka ʻole o ka lāʻau a me ka ʻalekohola.

"ʻO ka mea i loko ʻaʻole pono ʻoe e hele a ʻona i kēlā me kēia pō," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia no nā ʻōlelo aʻo e hāʻawi ʻo ia i kāna ʻōpio. "Mālama ka hana iā ʻoe. '"

Ke loaʻa ʻana o ke kōkua a me ka lāʻau

ʻO Craig Sloane, LCSW, CASAC, CSAT, he psychotherapist a me ka limahana limahana kauka i ʻike i ka mea e kōkua ai i nā poʻe ʻē aʻe ma o kā lākou hoʻōla ʻana a ʻimi iā ia iho e kōkua. Ma ke ʻano he kāne kāne ponoʻī i ka hoʻōla hou ʻana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Sloane he mea pono ʻaʻole e pena i nā ʻike o kēlā me kēia kanaka i kahi palaki ākea.

“Kūʻokoʻa nā kānaka āpau. ʻAʻole hiki iā ʻoe ke hoʻokohukohu ʻike i ke ʻano o ke kūlana o kēlā me kēia, akā ma ke ʻano maʻamau, manaʻo wau i ka loaʻa wale o ke aloha o ka ʻike o ka ʻike ʻana i ka paʻakikī o ka noi ʻana i ke kōkua, a me ka ʻike iaʻu iho i ka ʻike ʻana i kēlā hoʻōla. hiki, ʻae iaʻu e hoʻouna i kahi ʻano manaʻolana, "wahi a Sloane.

ʻO ka ʻoihana, ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia ʻaʻole ia e kaʻana like i kāna mōʻaukala pilikino me ka poʻe āna e hana pū ai, akā ua hoʻohui ʻia hiki i kāna mau ʻike ke kōkua i ka hoʻomaopopo ʻana i kāna ʻike i ka mea a lākou e hele nei.

Ua hoʻopuka ʻo Sloane iā Mark a me Disano i ka ulu a hele ʻana i ke ʻano makua me kahi ʻike LGBTQ hiki ke waiho i kekahi poʻe me kahi pae o ka hopohopo a me ke koʻikoʻi.

"ʻO ka trauma e pili ana i ka stigma kaiaulu o ka LGBTQ, o ka noho ʻana i kahi moʻomeheu, no ka hapa nui, he homophobic a heterosexist, he traumatic," wehewehe ʻo Sloane. "Mai nā ʻike o ka hoʻomāinoino ʻia a hōʻole ʻia e nā hoaaloha a me ka ʻohana, ʻoiaʻiʻo nō kēlā mau traumas aia ma ka makahiki 2019. Ma nā wahi he nui o ka ʻāina, he mau kaola nā wahi palekana no ka poʻe hele wāwae, no laila ke kaʻawale ka nohona. nā kumu ma hope o nā maʻi hoʻohana hoʻohana lāʻau no ka poʻe LGBTQ. "

Ua ʻōlelo hou ʻo ia no nā lālā o ke kaiāulu transgender, keu hoʻi, ʻo ka hōʻole a me ke kaʻawale ʻana mai nā hoa a me ka ʻohana hiki ke kiʻekiʻe. Hāʻawi kēia mau ʻike āpau i ka "stress minority," a Sloane i wehewehe ai e like me nā kiʻekiʻe kiʻekiʻe o ke koʻikoʻi i manaʻo ʻia e nā hui i hoʻopilikia ʻia, a waiho i nā poʻe LGBTQ he nui i ka maʻi hoʻohana.

ʻO Kauka Alex S. Keuroghlian, MPH, ka luna hoʻomalu o nā papahana aʻo a me nā papahana hoʻomaʻamaʻa ma The Fenway Institute a me ke kākoʻo loea o ka psychiatry ma ke Kulanui Lapaʻau ʻo Harvard, i ʻōlelo he pilikia paha ka poʻe LGBTQ e ʻimi nei i ka lāʻau.

"Pono e hoʻoponopono ʻia ka lapaʻau ʻana no ka poʻe LGBTQ," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "Pono mākou e hoʻopili i nā loina o ka hoʻoweliweli koʻikoʻi i nā ʻano hōʻike e pili ana i ka hōʻike. Pono nā mea hoʻolako e hoʻoponopono a hoʻoponopono i ka mālama ʻana i nā mea e like me nā maʻi hoʻohana opioid ma waena o ka poʻe LGBTQ, no ka laʻana.

Hoʻohui hou, kuhikuhi ʻo ia e pono i nā mea lawelawe olakino e hoʻomaopopo pono i ka pili o nā mea hoʻokele no ka hoʻowalewale i ka pilikia liʻiliʻi.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Keuroghlian ua hoʻomaikaʻi pū kekahi i kekahi mau mea, ʻoiai e pono e hana hou ʻia e hana i kahi ʻōnaehana olakino hui pū. I ka ʻoiaʻiʻo, i kēia hāʻule, ua ʻōlelo ʻia ua noi ʻia ʻo ia e ʻōlelo ma Tennessee e pili ana i ka haʻi ʻana i ka pilikia opioid i ke kaiāulu LGBTQ.

"ʻO Tennessee kahi mokuʻāina kahi e manaʻo ʻole ai ka poʻe e ʻike i ka hoihoi i ka hoʻomaikaʻi ʻana i kēia wahi, akā ʻo kēia ʻano mea e hana nei a puni ka ʻāina, aia kahi hana nui e hana ʻia e ka poʻe e lohe ʻole ai," wehewehe ʻo ia.

ʻO Francisco J. Lazala, MPA, luna hoʻonohonoho papahana, lawelawe lawelawe hihia ma Harlem United, kahi keʻena olakino kaiāulu ma New York City, ua ʻōlelo ʻia he nui aku ka poʻe ʻōpio LGBTQ ma laila e pono ai ka hale a me ke olakino ma mua o ka nui o nā papahana a me nā lawelawe i loaʻa kālā maikaʻi ʻia. hiki ke kōkua i ka pane ʻana i kā lākou makemake.

Wahi a Lazala, lawelawe nui ʻo Harlem United i ka poʻe ʻōpio o ke kala a me nā lālā o nā hui marginalized i hele mai iā ia e ʻimi ana i ke kākoʻo a me ka palekana.

ʻO ka hapa nui o ka poʻe ʻōpio āna e hana nei me ka ʻike home ʻole a me ka hōʻino.

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo ia he mea hōʻeuʻeu kekahi mau moʻolelo ma mua o nā mea ʻē aʻe.

ʻO ka pule hoʻokahi e like me kāna nīnauele me Healthline, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Lazala ua hele mai kahi wahine ʻōpio āna i hana pū ai e ʻike iā ia. Noho ʻo ia me kahi kaukaʻi i ka wā i hala. Ua hōʻike ʻo ia ma hope koke iho o ka haʻalele ʻana i ka wai ʻona, ua ʻike ʻo ia he maʻi HIV kā kona.

"Ua haki wale koʻu puʻuwai," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "He mea kaumaha ke ʻike aku i kēia poʻe ʻōpio [paʻi i kēia mau ʻano ālai alanui a] he kakaikahi nā lawelawe no ka [HIV-] ʻōpio maikaʻi."

'He hana hoʻomau'

He kanalima mau makahiki ma hope o Stonewall, ua manaʻo ʻo Lazala he mea hoʻohenehene ia e pili ana nā wahi i lilo i mau puʻuhonua a me nā wahi palekana - e like me ke kaiāulu o West Village ma kahi o Stonewall a me The New York's The Center - ua lilo i "mea nui," e ʻimi nei i nā wahi i hiki ke pale aku iā lākou mai nā lāʻau a me ka waiʻona.

Hoʻomaopopo loa ʻo Ramone i kā Lazala hana. Ua hele mai ʻo ia i Harlem United ke ʻike ʻo ia i ka home ʻole a hōʻaiʻē i nā lawelawe a me ke kākoʻo i loaʻa iā ia ma laila me ka hoʻihoʻi ʻana iā ia i kona mau wāwae.

"Ua kau pū wau me ka lehulehu hewa, ua maikaʻi ʻole nā ​​mea e pili ana i ka loaʻa ʻana iaʻu iho e hana nei i nā lāʻau, ke kau pū nei me ka poʻe e kūʻai aku nei i nā lāʻau. ʻO ka manawa wale nō, ke hana nei wau i nā mea aʻu i makemake ʻole ai e hana. ʻAʻole wau i aloha ʻia, ʻaʻole wau ʻoluʻolu, "i ʻōlelo ʻo ia.

ʻO ka noho ʻana me ka hoʻohana lāʻau, ua ʻōlelo ʻo Ramone he mea nui ka poʻe ʻike ʻaʻole ia he "kū a hana wale ʻia me ia kūlana."

"He hana hoʻomau ia," i ʻōlelo ʻo ia. "Laki, ua paʻa koʻu manaʻo."

Ua ʻōlelo ʻo Mark ua hauʻoli ʻo ia mai ka hiki iā ia ke "komo" ʻoi aku iā ia iho i kēia manawa ke ola nei ʻo ia.

"ʻO ke kaiāulu hoʻōla kahi kaiāulu ulu ulu, nui nā poʻe kanikau e ala ana iā ia," wahi a Mark. “Manaʻo wau he mea kūikawā maoli ke ʻano he kāne kāne.
