- Deaf Direct have produced this video of ‘LGBTQ signs’ to celebrate the diversity of our community. Here are some signs to learn ready for Worcestershire Pride day of 22/08/18. We hope that you enjoy it.
Love this, Thanks guys
I met a guy a few weeks ago who’s deaf and we communicate in person via text. I’m so excited to sign “happy pride” when I see him at our local pride event!
Jessica Kelgren-Fozard did a fab video for this! (JessicaOutOfTheCloset)
Brilliant! Very sweet to see. Thank you guys!
How do I say 'sibling' using BSL? I can only find 'brother' or 'sister', not a genderneutral term?
Good question.... I'm going to ask at college on Thursday! I'm studying level 6
There is no sign for 'sibling' as this is an English word. You are right that BSL usually uses either Brother or Sister. Having said that there have been similar discussions within the deaf community about the sign for 'parent' as the sign itself currently defines gender and may not being inclusive of all types of families. Some discussion has gone on within the community about using the right hand, v handshape, sign for 'both' to your upper right signing space for 'parents' with the lip pattern parents to be more inclusive of same sex families, I would suggest that maybe you could use a similar sign ('both'- v handshape near your shoulder moving from side to side, palm facing backwards outer hand forward) near your shoulder with the lip pattern 'sibling' to indicate you are from the same family. This however is not an official sign and would require a deaf person to be aware of the English word 'sibling'. These language concepts around gender neutrality are fairly new in English, and BSL being a separate language needs time to evolve its own way to express these concepts. For the time being my suggestion may allow you to try to express the concept you want to communicate. The sign I have suggested translates as 'both of us' (or 'we' only including 2 people), in this case meaning you and your sibling, so maybe appropriate to use in this situation. Though you might need to explain what you mean by it and why you are using it. Ask within your sign language class for support with appropriate vocabulary to give this explanation and remember that sign language is the language of deaf people and so language development should be lead by the community. There is a deaf LGBTIQ group which you can find on Google which may be able to support you further with this question. Really interesting subject so thanks for raising it!
I loved that🥳
