i am a huge part of my deaf community. i have been exposed to many deaf people including my boyfried( who is deaf) and i was using the deaf couple i saw as an example, of whyi wanted to become an inter and get to know the culture.
im hearing, with hearing parents. i have never seen ppl "act" differently around deaf people. i know i havent. i once saw a deaf couple out at the mall.. and ever since then i have wanted to learn and get to know a culture different than mine.
im sorry that you ran into a dumbass. some people...
