At Morpheyes Studio we are humbled, honored, and excited that many of you took the time to share your stories with us and the community. This series would not be possible without your enthusiasm and vulnerability. Our aim is to show young Deaf Queer people that they are not alone in the world, and give them hope through representation.
Here is one of the many beautiful stories shared with us -- by Gullermo Burgos!
DESCRIPTIVE TRANSCRIPT:
(The logo of a heart with Pride flag stripes and an outline of an ear in one half of the heart appears on a white background again. The heart logo spins and slides left and right, revealing the words “DEAF + QUEER” in funky black lettering. The heart logo slides up above the title. Then appears a person with curly brown hair wearing a multicolor striped tank, in front of an image blanket and white wall.)
I’m proud to be Deaf and Queer because Pride is vital and sacred. It inspires me and to me it means you’re comfortable in who you are and proud of what you stand for. Having Pride makes you feel strong, love yourself, and feel comfortable in who you are! Pride is showing and telling the world, “I am comfortable in who I am, and proud of it!” Show it. Tell the world! Whatever makes you feel strong.
(Fade. The logo of a heart with Pride flag stripes and an outline of an ear in one half of the heart appears on a white background again, above the words “DEAF + QUEER” in funky black lettering. End.)
