"Ever since I can remember, I have identified as gay.

No internal confusion, no coming-out horror story. My label as a gay male, while it came with understandable insecurities, never greatly interfered with my daily life. I might even call myself lucky in that sense. However, a deep part of me never felt truly comfortable among the large heterosexual population surrounding me. Strike one.

Now, throw another curveball that is widely but falsely seen as a debilitating condition: being Deaf. Strike two."
