That hearing person should understand and use other means of communication such as the pen-&-paper method instead of rejecting him. The same goes for gays/lesbians. Gays/Lesbians are still people. They can communicate and they can still do things that straight people do. One thing that a straight person should know not to do is comment on the opposite sex with that gay/lesbian person. "Whoa, that hot chick has a nice looking ass!" should not be said by a straight man in front of his gay friend. When I was speaking of other cultures, I also meant cultures in other countries. In Europe, people drive on the left side of the road. Does that mean you have to be an asshole and drive on the right cuz you think you're an American? No, that means you should understand that it's their way and respect them. Go to Japan. It's respectful to remove your shoes when entering a house. Don't negelect them and do it your way, respect them and do it their way. One or two times won't hurt you.

this does not relate to my statment.. you're talking about culture respecting other culture. I'm talking about this so called "war" between the GROUPS- i.e. butch, trans, drag queens, bi and so on.... believe it or not some groups do not like other groups in some places. I have witnessed it myself being a straight person.
