Recently I become more involved in the deaf community in my area. My ASL teacher wanted those of us who wanted to be interpreters and teachers to learn how to interact with the deaf and hard of hearing. I started attending several events in the Orange County. I have gone twice to the Deaf Meet up at the Block at Orange in the city of Orange. I was shocked to see other Goths there! Then I remembered one of the girls in their group as being someone I worked with at Knotts Berry Farm. I think she worked in Costuming. I new she was Goth but I didn’t know she was Deaf until I met her later at a Goth club with her Boyfriend who was also a part of the group.
I didn’t know Deaf people could be gothic. Most people who are part of the subculture identify themselves by the MUSIC they LISTEN to, the clothes that they wear, and their dark or macabre outlook on life. If you can’t hear the music how do they identify with the subculture? I am not trying to make anyone mad. I am just trying to get an understanding.
