    Making small talk with hearing strangers

    Its so weird when I travel, people always come up to me asking me something. When I was in Italy, people often asked me stuff like directions and so on, and they would speak in their own language. Once, I was on a train, and a woman was wondering what the station we stopped at was. I tried to...

    Do you think sexuality is on a sliding scale?

    I agree with pinecone... why do we have to quantify the degree of our straightness or gayness? Most of the time I'm attracted to manly men (I'm a guy myself), and could never be attracted to feminine guys. I'm in a relationship with a guy since over 6 years but have always dated guys for as...

    Deaf LGBTs bemoan lack of interpreters

    In SLC during the Pride Days, they used to provide ASL interpreters for keynote speakers, but this year they got terps for everything! It was interesting how they decided to do that.

    Republicans want review of birthright citizenship

    back to topic: I honestly do think that we need to change something here, but I would like to clarify a bit about what I think. If the parents want to live in the States forever and have children here, then I don't see why their children can't have birthright citizenship. HOWEVER, I don't think...

    Show your support for "I Do" Gay Marriage.

    I support for a non-discriminative policy for granting couples marriage licences. I get tired of arguments people make when people say that if we start granting gay couple marriage licences, then we have to grant polygamous relationships and so on. (I live in Utah, enough said.) People like to...

    Making small talk with hearing strangers

    Recently I've noticed myself signing to hearing strangers whilst talking at same time (FYI my voice is terrible!!!), and it made people realise that I was deaf, but being nice to them and talking anyway. Most of the time it made the conversations short (to my delight), but a few times I would...

    Sexless Marriages.....

    I wonder... is sex absolutely essential for a successful marriage or relationship? There are also other ways to connect to your partner through intimacy, and sex is just one of these ways. I have been with my partner for over 6 years and we don't have sex everyday. We do make time for each other...

    Dogs and Thunder Storms

    My family's black lab would get nervous during the thunderstorms. I didn't realise that she got nervous until I noticed her hiding under the computer desk or lying near me. One day, my dad mentioned that it was thundering and that's when I made the connection. Every time there was a...

    How do you guys like your ice cream?

    My favourite is Italian gelato... I like a lot of flavours that are made into gelatos, especially hazelnut, or pistachio. I also love mango. When I was in Italy recently, I tried zabaglione, and it was sooooo good. I always look forward to going on vacation in Germany or Italy, because their...

    What did you learn today?

    I learned today that Korean people answer yes and no questions differently. Example: Don't you like mushrooms? English: No, I don't. Korean: Yes, I don't. A bit confusing!

    How do you sign...

    I would sign provoke according to the meaning or situation. There is no one sign for a range of meanings that provoke could mean. If you're trying to make someone mad, you could say "pick on someone" if that was what was happening. Or sign "spelling" in a dramatic way as if you're trying to...
