    URGENT- Anyone with Cochlear Implants who would be willing to speak with me?

    I've actually already interviewed 4 deaf people, along with 3 other people from schools for deaf people. I use this site to supplement interviews that I've already done. I've gotten some really cool interviews from this site, and people are usually really nice.

    URGENT- Anyone with Cochlear Implants who would be willing to speak with me?

    Hi Alldeaf- I'm writing a story about Cochlear Implants and what it does to the deaf community, and I wanted to IM with some people for a few minutes about their experiences with C.I.'s personally or with someone they know well. I would need to do it by Wednesday night, so time is off the...

    CODA's

    Hey, I promise this is the last time I'll harass everyone about an article for a long while, but I was wondering if there were any hearing codas that would answer a few questions for me for an article I am writing. The article is about how deaf people parent, how it can teach their children...

    Deaf parents with hearing child(ren)

    Ive always wondered if people can turn gay, if so then how?

    You all make interesting points. I think people that "discover" they are get at older ages may have been hiding their true feelings. Homophobia in the religious sector and the world at large can do wonders in terms of hiding one's true feelings. As how sexual orientation is decided, I...

    Ask and Answer

    I would love to be a journalist reporting on something that matters. We will see. What's your favorite part about the opposite sex (if you're straight) or the same sex (if you're gay)?

    When did you come out?

    I came out to my mom when I was 14 and we were vacationing in Mexico. I came out to my friends before that. Then I was on the front cover of my city's paper for my high school's Day of Silence. That's how I came out to like half of my extended family. It was neat.

    Alarm?

    Depending on how you sleep, you may be able to keep a cell phone on vibrate in your pocket while you sleep. That works for me, and I'm a heavy sleeper.

    Perhaps my class was just very sheltered? We talked about how cool it was for about ten minutes.

    Deaf Boyfriend versus Hearing Boyfriend...

    Hmm. I'm a hearing ASL student and I think ASL is such a beautiful language that I instantly think a guy is cuter if he's deaf. I know, it's strange. :/
