Lesbian, Gay, Bisexual, Transgender, Intersex, Queer and questioning and asexual people, among others, live in various communities around the world. Members of thee communities also include D/deaf people who embrace multiple identities. Identify for D/deaf people is inclusive of areas of life such as gender and sexuality. like other minorities, LGBTIQA+ people add diversity to D/deaf communities and, in some countries, celebrate this through annual Pride events in which D/deaf people are often included. However, being able to celebrate oneself in one’s native sign languages can make a significant difference to how D/deaf LGBTIQA+ people view themselves and show how much the community values them. Deaf communities should thus ensure that LGBTIQA+ people are represented in their social events and included in ongoing intersectional advocacy.
