Hi Bill,
I am a student at the University of Minnesota, currently in ASL 3. I hold the Random House Webster's ASL Dictionary, but I often rely on your site for current, cultural descriptions of signs. (The personal, anecdotal information is much more useful than a basic dictionary.)

The only place that I felt I could appropriately grasp these terms was by socializing with my LGBTQ Deaf and signing peers.

“While my professors may believe that it is vital to teach the sign for “onion” so I can feed myself, I find it more important learn the sign for “gay.””

Throughout my immersion in the Deaf people, I feel fancy I have been collecting these signs and developing my own personal comprehension of what they represent. Like English, the words and signs we exploit to identify and describe ourselves include power for ourselves, our audience, and our culture. As our words and signs change, they embody shifting individual and social representations of LGBTQ identities. When we step back an
