“I always knew that I was different but I had not been exposed to the GLBT culture until I attended University of Colorado at Boulder. I
grew up in a small town called Alexandria in Louisiana. My father was in an ex-Vietnam war army when he met my mother. I was an average guy at my high school.

The PeaceMaker game allows you to play as either the Palestinian or the Israeli government. Depending on the decisions you make you can either send your country and the region into oblivion or win the Nobel Peace Prize.

as Guatemala or the United States and Mexico.
