It's a night where the community can come together to be their authentic selves. The public is welcome, to learn about and experience a mix of deaf and gay culture.
Pride month kicks off across the country beginning June 1 and one gay man is urging communities to come together and learn about each other.
Benton is from Kentucky where he attended the School for the Deaf, and came to Indianapolis 14 years ago. As both a gay and deaf man, Benton is now leading the charge to bring awareness and remove the barriers that keep people from communicating, which is why he is looking forward to Deaf Pride. The public is welcome at the event with the aim of people learning and experiencing a mix of deaf and gay culture.
“It’s so important to see the two communities come together,” Rhyno said. “Our deaf community and our queer community and recognizing the intersectionality between the two. That there are many queer deaf individuals out there.”
