Ah...rape and murder on not generally consensual acts. Personal life was a nice way of saying why do people care who sleeps with who...as long as it is adult and consensual. I hope that's more clear. If you are comparing rape and murder to being gay, then you forgot Pedro, sex with animals and...

You can debate particulars and semantics until we all rot, but the issue is that CFA gave money to groups that have a decidedly anti-gay leaning. Of course, it's usually dressed up in pro-family, Christian values, or religious beliefs. They got called out and are now back pedaling to avoid a...

Really?

Lifprint is a good supplement, but the only way to learn ASL is to practice with others. The spatial and non-manual markers are difficult online. Also, signing with people is much different than practicing alone or watching a vid. When I began learning, almost everyone suggested finding a...

Blue Velvet?

I didn't know any ASL the first time I saw this, but enjoyed the pure emotion...great acting. Now, I can catch about half of it and it's even better. Loved the show!

Hey Tracy...sorry its been a while, Im bad at checking in. I live in Washington DC and am taking ASL at Gallaudet. The metro area has an active Deaf community with events that even the HoH are welcome at...festivals, movies, cummunity fairs - all sorts of stuff. I havent looked for anything...

Wow...amazing. I remember the launch.

Giggle giggle giggle...another post gets out of hand. Pay as you go cell...my recommendation. Very inexpensive, reliable and you only use your time when you need to. Careful...they are addictive. Avoid anything with an apple on it, cause you'll just want MORE!

It's ignorance. It happens to every minority...Deaf, racial, gay and lesbian, blind, etc...sorry if I missed yours. It's a fact of life, you gotta deal. Its easier to expect that hearies are going to be noobish about Deaf experience But the stories are freekin hilarious...keep em coming. Ok...

Whoa Smithtr...the signing savvy site is great! Thanks. I like the ASL.American Sign Language site as well, though it seems to be more oriented to the west coast than the east. It's a really good introduction.

I so understand what you're feeling. I feel like a total peabrain in my ASL class...signs that I absolutely know just disappear when the eyes turn to me. I find myself signing crude things to coworkers that talk to me when my back is turned, then yell or make fun when I can't hear. It's...

It amazes me how people see the same set of facts so differently...through their political filters. Those filters seem to pick and choose among the facts in order to support a preconceived end. It seems to be viral this election cycle, and I'm as guilty as the next bloke.

Any queer dhh blokes in the DC area?

Some of these posts are really offensive. Substitute "deaf" for "gay" and remember all of the crap you have been subjected to because you are deaf, as if all deaf people are a certain way simply because they are deaf..get it???

Hey...I'm also learning ASL. I'm finding it difficult to understand others' signs. Everyone tells me that the best way to learn is to practice every day with some one who signs fluently. Well, the very best way is to get in a relationship with someone who only signs, but failing that...

I get nervous talkin to people, period...hearing or deaf.

My dog is totally house trained, until she isn't. She waits until I leave the room, takes a dump, then looks at me with dog eyes as if to say "who did that?"

I think you have to have a belly button tobe born...sorta required. Then again AH was sorta odd.
