Perhaps this isn't the right forum for this, but as a gay guy and sort of deaf too, it sucks that some say I have best of both words.... being able to communicate with ASL and speak fluent English as well, but I really don't feel that way because when I meet someone new and it's like the communication barrier breaks down to the point where it becomes pointless. I suppose my hearing friends are used to me being able to communicate with one another but i don't know.
She tried hooking me up with someone, but after meeting him once it became awkward and didn't look back.
She still wants me to go with her to a gay bar to hang out... doesn't really help me all that much I know she said she could be like a buffer for communication, but I don't want to depend on her that much... it's just frustrating that I can't read lips all that well compared to others but... i dunno.
There's only one deaf club in Pittsburgh, Pa, (that i know of) but i only went once - go figure.
College @ NTID/RIT was awesome, but sometimes i kinda wish that NTID was here in pittsburgh, oh well.
I could probably rant on and on, so uhh, but for the most part communication on-line has never been easier.... sometimes i wish Life were the same. =(
