There are many LGBTI candidates standing for election in the US midterms this week. Some, if elected, will make history as out executives and politicians. One of them, Josh Tenonio, happens to be standing in one of the US’s most distant outposts. The small island of Guam lies in Micronesia in the Western Pacific. It’s closer to the Philippines and Papua New Guinea than the US mainland. With a population of 160,000, its relationship to the US remains subject to debate. Some want the small island to become a state, like Hawaii. Others want it to split from the US and become a Commonwealth territory.
