With the development in politics, economy, technology and socio-culture, the concept of ‘DINK’ family has become a common phenomenon. DINK stands for ‘Dual Income No Kids’; this definition also encompasses singles, couples and small group of adults.
The ‘PINK’ concept is derived from the definition of ‘DINK’ which describes the GLBT community who seeks for non-discriminatory services particularly the ones related to travel and consumer goods. The economic power of this community establishes GLBT individuals as a valuable part of the common society.
Increased income, improved living condition and acceptance of society will provide strong conditions for the emergence of PINK families and this new kind of family is expected to be very common in the future as more GLBT people become parents.
Based on GLBT global research study by Out Now, the travel pattern of PINK travellers remains resilient despite the global recession. Factors influencing such travel pattern include:
- Growth in GLBT honeymoons market as more GLBT enter into civil partnerships and equal marriages.
- GLBT travel destinations preferred tend to be long-haul for many.
- GLBT travel to fulfil specific interests such as diving, golfing, visiting historical landmarks, experiencing new culture, etc.

Today, I am in extreme sorrow & pain cause I have seen such extreme graphic Youtube of a gay African man been beaten, burned alive by angry mob. Why is this still happening in this modern world? Why people still hate gay so much that they would even kill?
