It Gets Better in ASL: Adam

[HuggingOwl]

I am sure my life will get better in future...somewhere the door is waiting for me. By the way, I am deaf too :) I give you tons of thumb up!

[FutureRN8415]

Well said! So glad these videos made it out there in ASL. I remember coming out and everything definitely got better once I just owned it. :-)

[deafornot8]

I just start to learn ASL recently, am hard of hearing. I can sign some simple words now. I joined a great deaf daing site, ----Deafornot dot c om----, and met some good deaf/HOH friends over there. They help me to learn ASL.

[snacks123]

hi cutie :)

[Mr337morris]

i went on the it gets better project and i have to say your video touched me the most. me being gay, and taking a great appreciation for sign language your video touched me. i offered this to my friends who are gay and it helped them out in school. so thank you! i also wanted to point out that am hearing, and have taught myself sign language on my own, where i am running my own club in high school.

[DeafBeachBoy]

Jeremiah L Hall

[hhhcce]

You are so cute. I want to hug you so badly.

[MyloAros]

I wish i knew sign language :((( i would love to know what hes saying :)

[supernerd47]

I love this video. And congrats on having it featured on tv! :D

[EyeSooGuy]

i'm deaf and gay too, but my own experiences in both of those communities (deaf and gay) have been the exact opposite of the video uploader Adam's .... why, you might ask? too long a story to fit into the comment box, but let's just say that since quitting the deaf community in 2003 from 1997 and then the gay community from 2004 to 2010, my life have been so much better. and, i'll be 29 this fall btw.

[9191death]

ahhh i see what you mean. that's cool. gay and lesbian are cool and awesome! I'm not gay. lol I'm straight. my good friends is gay and lesbian or straight. They are cool. :D

[MsGleekfreak]

Im SO happy they included a ASL video for ItGetsBetter and that the Deaf community is involved in it! I'm happy that ItGetsBetter is targeted for EVERYONE and not just the hearing or one ethnic background(: Gives me hope that the world might actually...GetBetter<3

[depfox]

Great it gets better video

[salseraendos]

Adam, I was really excited to see you on the Chrome commercial. We were in the same class at RIT and when I saw the commercial knew it was you right away.

[intrinsicchaos]

@AelafT yep!

[AelafT]

@intrinsicchaos ahh, I thought so. My brother said he knew you and I didn't believe him.

[ZackPaslay]

I started learning ASL at school this year, and I love your video, Adam! Thanks for reaching out to not only the gay community but the Deaf community as well! You're so awesome... and you're pretty cute too. :-)

Hey! you was in the Google Chrome/Youtube It Gets Better commercial during Glee. Congrats! <3. Thanks for the vid.

[intrinsicchaos]

@Chrcouture so exciting! thanks!

[Sxel92]

My good friend Kyle graduated from Rochester, and he said the Deaf and Gay community at RIT is amazing. We're both hearing, but he's taught me all I know about signing. Love the video, it does indeed get better, and I gotta admit... deaf guys are definitely cuter ;P

[intrinsicchaos]

@Sxel92 haha...thanks!

[wjcboxer]

very cute and loved the vid

[rsgracey]

RIT has a rockin' gay-deaf community. I always thought the deaf guys were hot! ;-)

[intrinsicchaos]

@rsgracey ha, i agree!

[XxJilliannxX]

asl = age sex location

anyone remeber that

[TheWhitewing6]

Thanks Adam ! It gets better! You Rock!

[chrisk4legged]

thank you !

you're so cute~

: )

[HanzeUK]

you did that really well. I do hope that your video will be seen by many, many confused deaf AND gay teens, who have no direction. Well done. Plus, you're cute! ;)

[MnDeafdude]

I can really relate. i didnt get majorly picked on or bulied oo much and when i did it was more about being deaf than being gay. I didnt come out untill i was finished with highschool and out of my boyscout troop and went to college. I started all over with a new slate and i'm as out as i can be. Luckily my campus- U of M twin cities- is one of the most open-minded colleges around. Theres lots of gay people here. I wear my gay pride wristband all the time and nobody cares. It really does better!

[Parnelli1964]

Hello...I just wanna let you know that You're not the only one..I am also Deaf and Gay..I came out when I was 17 and I am now 46..so..my family and friends knows about and they love me just as I am!..and Love ya video..you're so awesome!..Peace!

[DGPooh21]

[mettayoga]

Adam~ THANK YOU FOR THIS! 

[owensdave]

Finally! Thank you Adam - I have not commented on YouTube for a long time - and had to reset my password. Good for YOU - in getting the "word" out to others in your situation. It Does Get Better!

[deshane]

Thanks Adam! I'm HOH and gay. I didn't come out for the same reasons.. to be HOH AND gay?!?! Oh no, not in my small Southern town!

Luckily, I found my true love.. and you're absolutely right, just stick with it.. because it WILL get better!

Thank you again for posting that.. for all the HOH and Deaf glbtqi... :o)

[ufo8mykat]

Oh dear...I *think* I got all of that. I am always trying desperately to learn more because I'm HOH; imagine my surprise when I found your AWESOME video! I'm so encouraged! Thank you.

[itgetsbetterproject]

This is great! Thanks Adam!

[k3Eb0]

even though i dont understand ASL, strangely enough i understand what youre trying to say

[Jaydoggie]

Your beauty goes all the way to your heart. Thanks for sharing your story.

[RubyTeeg]

How can anyone dislike something so beautiful?

[Knuckles23X]

I whish i can understand your gestures.

[CarbonX21]

@Knuckles23X There is a transcript button next to the views that says what he is signing.

[belliot2]

Adam! I'm so impressed and proud of you...always have been and always will be. Thanks for continuing to be an inspiration to me and so many others. :) -Brian

[oguzhan979]

this is lovely <3

[pokeypenguin]

i really liked this. youre adorable!

im glad that you felt comfortable enough at RIT, in rochester (my hometown) to finally be yourself. and now that youre sharing that with others, you've made a great mark on this world. keep it up :)

[Haplo2006]

That was a really upbeat message, it makes me think its the other kids missing out on getting to know better the gay, or deaf, whatever "otherness" it may be. I'm sure things are already changing for the better, wish ASL was taught more regularly in schools to all kids.

[bluetruckredstate]

Awesome message from a beautiful guy, inside and out. Great job buddy, proud of you.

[CarbonX21]

Wow you are gorgeous, thanks for sharing.

[DrMike002]
