Gallaudet Presidential Inauguration Celebration
VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Gallaudet University celebrates the first Deaf woman to serve as its president in the United States history.
WASHINGTON -- USA Today: About two weeks after she arrived on the campus of Gallaudet University last January, Roberta Cordano learned how the place works: The blizzard known as “Snowzilla” hit, knocking out power to much of the campus.
Cordano, the school’s incoming president, invited 13 families to stay in her on-campus house overnight, where the next morning they produced a huge communal meal. When students realized that a school-issued emergency message didn’t include an American Sign Language (ASL) version, they produced one themselves, complete with captions.
“They really set the gold standard for establishing bilingual communication,” Cordano said. “There is no other place that I have experienced that would just delve into something, take care of things, figure it out.”
On Friday, Cordano’s appointment becomes official as Gallaudet, the world's only liberal arts university for Deaf and Hard of Hearing students, inaugurates her as its first Deaf female president.
The move follows decades of political upheaval at the school, where over the past 30 years students have fought to give Deaf educators and students more control.
Established during the Lincoln administration in 1864, Gallaudet didn’t get its first Deaf president until the Reagan administration, 124 years later, in 1988 and only after raucous protests closed down the campus. The “Deaf President Now” protests, stretching over eight days, forced Gallaudet's board to name its first Deaf president, I. King Jordan, who served for 18 years.
In 2006, more protests erupted after the board named Provost Jane Fernandes to replace Jordan. As in 1988, students blocked the main gates of the campus, and “Deaf President Now” morphed into “Better President Now.” Though all three finalists in 2006 were Deaf, students feared that Fernandes might not be their strongest advocate. Some wanted a candidate who had grown up Deaf and relied solely on ASL - Fernandes had learned to sign when she was young and could communicate well by speaking or by signing, The Washington Post reported at the time. The board eventually named Robert Davila to replace Jordan.
The power struggles are actually the natural result of the linguistic issues the Deaf community has experienced for more than a century, Cordano said.
“It took 100 years here in the (United) States until American Sign Language was recognized as a language, just like English, having its own grammatical structure, its own rules, all the linguistic markers you would find in any other language,” she said. “What’s fascinating is that it took 100 years for us to change the perspective from, ‘Oh, it’s just a bunch of gestures,’ to actually seeing it’s a legitimate language.”
From there, she said, it was a short step to political activism and a push for self-determination. Understanding Deaf Culture, she said, made outsiders realize that Deaf people have something worth protecting: “If you have a language, then surely there must be a culture - there must be literature. And of course we realized the Deaf community has culture and literature and storytelling. And from there that’s been followed by the civil rights movement.” ... Read More at USA Today.

Deaf Woman Refused Service At Dunkin Donuts
VIDEO [CC] - Deaf News: Massachusettsians show support after Deaf woman is refused service at Dunkin Donuts drive-thru.
FRAMINGHAM, MA -- A Deaf woman who was outraged by the way a Dunkin Donuts employee treated her is getting support from her community.
Jessica Sanzillo said she's a frequent customer at a Framingham Dunkin Donuts and uses a texting app to order through the drive-thru.
But when she drove up one day, she was refused service because she wouldn't use the speaker. On Sunday, Sanzillo and several others went through that drive-thru and ordered like a Deaf person would.
They hope this sends a message to others.
"To see, to get them the experience of people that work at Dunkin Donuts. To know what it's like for when a Deaf person is going to come through the drive-thru and how to approach that better in the future,” Sanzillo told FOX25 through an interpreter Friday.
Hearing people and other who have Deaf families members came out to the rally as well.
"As a parent of a Deaf child, I would never want William to be excluded from anything and so thinking of him wanting to get a cup of coffee later in life and being told he couldn't go through the drive thru like everybody else really upset me,” one parent said.
Dunkin Donuts did apologize for that initial incident and said the employee involved has been fired.

Video description and transcript:
A man stands in front of an off-white wall and an old model ship on top of an old bookcase. A small transparent NAD logo appears on bottom right.
LINSAY: Deaf people were faced with a dilemma that had raised concerns among them. It was generally known that Deaf people, upon the graduation from school, would acquire jobs and live at their respective places. However, the idea of Deaf people living far apart from their friends could have a negative impact on their intelligence. They needed to gather and discuss solutions. So in 1853, Deaf people in New England congregated in Vermont and decided to establish an organization. Subsequently, in 1854, Thomas Brown, who was in charge in developing the constitution for the newly formed group, and others gathered for a meeting in Henniker, New Hampshire. The meeting lasted for several days which formed the constitution and the name of the new organization the New England Gallaudet Association of the Deaf, the NEGAD. The purpose of the organization was to promote the intellectual growth among the Deaf people who lived in various places and to become a model for other states to follow. Eventually, other states had established their own state association which prompted the eventual establishment of the National Association of the Deaf, the NAD. All of that began with a group of people who were posed with a question that led to the national organization that made it possible for all Deaf to advance.

Gay People Walking Through The Street Reaction
VIDEO [CC] - Shocking homosexual experiment, how do straight people react when gay people walking through the streets in some countries.
Reaction to Gays in Russia Social Experiment - Daily Mail - Two men secretly filmed themselves walking hand-in-hand through Moscow, only to be attacked twice and shouted at by vile homophobes. The video, taken as part of a social experiment, shows the men walking past iconic landmarks together in the Russian capital.
Walking In NYC As A Homosexual Experiment - Gaily Grind - DennisCeeTv sent a ‘gay’ man wearing a tight V-neck shirt to walk the streets of New York City for three hours and document any street harassment he received. Although the experiment has the right intentions, it should be noted that the video says the man is “dressed as a homosexual.”
Homosexual Experiment - The two actors and gay walk the streets of New York City that are getting discriminated by vile homophobes.
Listverse - From our cozy Western perspective, it can seem like the battle for LGBT rights is nearly over. Across Europe, Australia, North America, and most of South America, things like gay marriage and homosexual adoption are now either legal or being openly discussed.

Deaf Basketball Player Heads To Nationals
VIDEO [CC] - 8-year-old basketball star Zeke Ortiz says being Deaf has no limits.
NBC FREDERICK, MD - Ask 8-year-old Zeke Ortiz what he wants to be when he grows up, and he'll answer without hesitation - a pro basketball player.
Zeke has been playing since he was a 2-year-old, but he decided earlier this year it was time to step up his game. That meant leaving his YMCA league to join a more competitive team - the Playmakers.
"The team I'm with now is a challenge," Zeke said. "It's tough for me." But it wasn't the skill set or the level of competition that was the biggest hurdle in making the change for Zeke. It was the fact that none of his new teammates knew how to sign.
Zeke, his 10-year-old brother Zion, their parents, grandparents and nine cousins are all Deaf - and this was Zeke's first time playing a sport with hearing teammates.
"He's lucky that he was born into a family of Deaf people and to have Deaf parents, so he'd had full access to communication since birth," his mom, Jennifer Yost Ortiz, said.
Zeke, who attends a Deaf school, had always been able to communicate with his family and peers. When he joined the Playmakers, his parents say that for the first time, he felt lost.
"Everybody was talking," Zeke said. "I didn't know what they were saying or what to do. Nobody was interpreting for me."
"At the very beginning, the first practice, Zeke kept looking at me saying, 'I don't understand,' Ortiz said. "And we said, 'It's okay, just watch.'"
Without an interpreter, it was like a guessing game. Zeke couldn't do the little things, like hear a whistle blow or a call being made.
His father, a former basketball player, picked up on the coach's signals and was able to interpret plays and drills... Read more: nbcnews.com/nightly-news/how-deaf-8-year-old-boy-overcame-his-fears-play

College Humor: Canadian Rap Diss Music Video
VIDEO [CC] - If Canadians made a rap diss video, we hope it's not this embarrassing.
Huffingtonpost - In College Humor's (and that's humor without the "u") funny attempt to recreate a so-called Canadian rap diss video, what you're left with is almost two and a half minutes of maple syrup, age-old stereotypes and a lot of apologizing. And hey, we get it we're kind people who love to say "sorry," eat flapjacks and brag about our healthcare, but seriously, are we that predictable?
But in all earnestness, we are impressed with some of the rhymes, the very Canadian backdrop, the rappers' outfits, and let's just say we definitely have things we're grateful for from our American cousins down below.
We do have one suggestion though: maybe next time if we're in the need of a good rapper and an equally good diss, we would just give Drake a call? Source

Deaf Sound Artist Christine Sun Kim Interview
VIDEO [CC] - Exclusive Interview: How Christine Sun Kim, Deaf Sound Artist, Hears Everything.
The Daily Beast: Christine Sun Kim’s work is an expression of the spaces between sound and silence the many dimensions that are overlooked simply because no one can hear them.
For artist Christine Sun Kim, sound has many personalities. The Master of Fine Arts-holding TED (Technology, Entertainment, Design) fellow, who has exhibited at Museum of Modern Art, held residencies at the Whitney Museum and most recently was guest artist at the MIT Media Lab, is challenging conventional ideas about sound through her art.
On a sleepy Sunday in Moabit, Berlin, I meet Kim, a petite 34-year-old with dyed blond hair tightly pulled back. Deaf since she was born, Kim exudes an energy that belies her silence, greeting me with a hug and kiss, before darting into the kitchen to make tea. We sit down and Skype to communicate, but there’s no need for video.
For the past seven years, Kim has lived between New York City and Berlin. But it was not until 2008, during an arts residency in gritty Berlin, that she began to consider sound as her next medium.
“I noticed how sound art was a thing and became intrigued about the concept. I am always drawn to conceptual art and the ideas behind a piece or installation,” she said.
“For me, sound had always been an idea an intangible space that separated me from others so I was curious about how art could transcend sound and vice versa.”
Kim, who was a visual artist at the time, gradually realized that she wanted to explore sound. And it totally freaked her out... Read more: http://thedailybeast.com/articles/2015/06/01/how-christine-sun-kim-deaf-sound-artist-hears-everything.html

ASL Film 'Always Chasing Love' Campaign Video
VIDEO [CC] - An American Foreign Language film about a former foster child’s journey to find her birth parents and the chaos that ensues.
What is always chasing love? Based on a compilation of true events and uniquely told in American Sign Language (ASL), Italian and English (American and Australian), 'Always Chasing Love' depicts the impact of child abandonment and foster care, the pursuit of family, intimacy and acceptance, and the importance of honest communication in relationships.
It is an arthouse narrative of colliding love stories, triggered by a pained Jennifer Anderson’s passionate and tumultuous journey to find her birth parents. After getting a lead as to her parents' whereabouts, Jennifer's actions cause heartbreak that snowballs into a crime-of-passion. The resulting crime is investigated by the famously meticulous and no-nonsense Detective Simon Willis of the Sign Language Police Department (SLPD).
Why is always chasing love on Kickstarter? Jadolphus Fraser started the journey of making this film with the goal that it be self-funded. Unfortunately, while in the finishing stages of post-production, he suffered the catastrophe that all creators fear the crashing of hard drives, both primary and back-up, simultaneously. Despite being devastated by this calamity, Jadolphus adhered to his commitment to finish the film, and once again embarked upon re-producing and directing this unique film from pre-production to completion. However, his financial resources are now depleted, thus bringing him to Kickstarter. The film is currently in post-production (saved in the cloud and backed up on many hard drives), with the following needed for completion... Read the full story
