GLAAD

I'm so happy to read other glowing reports of GLAD. My experience with them was awful. I was a musician and theatre director who lost my hearing. The first person I really opened up to about this (yes, I did blub) was at GLAD. I won't name her but J was utterly dismissive of my experience and made me feel like my trauma couldn't compare to hers as she was ''deaf from her early years -and could I imagine how that felt'?' Not sure that should have been the approach -no matter how (definitely) self-pitying I might have been at that time. I did explain that this was the first time I'd really communicated my true feelings about the impact hearing loss had had on me but this seemed lost on her. Or in no way could compete with her level of suffering. It was such a shame as my desire back then was to try and get involved in the deaf community. Not the outcome here BUT I can see that I am very much in the minority here -which makes me think, Oh my goodness, was I that pathetic? Or was J having a really bad day?

They are wonderful, Deaf Friendly Environmental, good many resources, helpful and gave me a gift card to restaurant. This is best Deaf Community than 49 states. I cannot wait come back to California and thinking to work as volunteer as peer counselor to help young Deaf people , Deaf Seniors and Deaf parents with my knowledge. Thank you again.

Great place for the community to reach resources
