(Full) 2026 [Disability Equality] 12th Rainbow Taiwan Sign Language Class Registration Open

Sign language is not just a tool for communication, but also a national language full of visual beauty and unique cultural heritage. When "gender diversity (LGBTQ+)" and "Deaf culture" gently intertwine, we can see the most colorful rainbow light in the silent world. Taiwan Tongzhi Hotline once again invites beloved and outstanding instructors to launch the 12th "2026 Rainbow Taiwan Sign Language Class"!
