This video gives a variety of LGBTQ signs and why they're used or what they actually mean. Pretty interesting stuff. His sign for "transgender" is a little different but I have heard of the change made to lesbian and gay as well. How they moved the L over to the side, it's more polite that way I think. Anyway, if you were interested in learning some new signs, here's a few really cool ones.
i love the fact that society and together-ness influences language. the closer you are to your group affects how you acquire language. in someways this may also influence they way you learn...bum...bum..bum
ReplyDeleteI agree! I have several friends that work for HRC (Human rights campaign) that are Deaf out west. Changing the signs has been a movement that's been happening for a few years now.. That makes me excited to see it's spreading more and more!
