WATCH [CC] - A contestant won't be able to hear music on 'Dancing with the Stars' on the ABC TV series recap.

LOS ANGELES -- Nyle DiMarco's Dancing with the Stars partner Peta Murgatroyd is learning American Sign Language, perhaps you know Nyle DiMarco. He's the latest winner of "America's Next Top Model," an actor and Deaf advocate. Now, Nyle is breaking more barriers.

Aside from making American Sign Language education steamier, he'll be the first fully Deaf male contestant on "Dancing With The Stars." DWTS season 22 debuts Monday, March 21 at 8 p.m. on ABC.

"I haven't danced at all growing up. So, we'll see what happens," DiMarco signed.

"How do you choreograph when he can't hear the music?" George Stephanopoulos asked.

Yeah, he's real. @NyleDiMarco feels the music like no other! https://t.co/3Bzd4INkoX

"Honestly, it's more visual. It's more of a challenge for me this season, but it's a great one," Peta Murgatroyd answered. Good thing DiMarco is no stranger to challenges.

"Becoming the spokesperson for the Deaf community, and they need me. And it's a burden sometimes, but I'm willing to take that burden and change the world's perspective on Deaf people," DiMarco said.

Save Ontario Schools, Deaf Community Says

WATCH: Petition to Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to save PSB schools in Ontario, Deaf community says.

LONDON, ON -- The province’s Deaf community and their supporters are putting pressure on Ontario’s government this week, calling on them to keep schools for the Deaf and special needs students open.

Executive director of the Ontario Association of the Deaf, as well as parents of kids who attend so-called demonstration schools - they’re funded outside the traditional school board model will be with London Fanshawe MPP Teresa Armstrong Thursday, in whose riding Robarts and Amethyst schools are located.

Save PSB Schools Petition: https://change.org/p/justin-trudeau-save-psb-schools

The group will make a presentation on the future of five such schools, including the two in London.

“The vague, uncertain messages from the Ministry (of Education) has affected our community-wide morale, self-esteem,” said David Wiesblatt, president of the London Club of the Deaf, which is organizing one of three provincial community forums on Friday.

Armstrong could not be reached by press time.

Robarts teaches Deaf students in their first language, American Sign Language, giving students a sense of community and culture, proponents say.

Amethyst is for students of average to high intelligence who have severe learning disabilities.

Students live at both schools, operated separately on Highbury Avenue, and go home on weekends.

The 2012 Drummond Report, which contained suggestions for the province on how to save money, recommended closing demonstration schools and integrating students in mainstream schools.

“Robarts has wonderful staff, administrators and facilities to support and serve our Deaf kids to thrive. We have many, many successful stories from the students and transfers from mainstream schools,” said Wiesblatt.

Many fear community consultations are a sham and the province has already made up its mind about the closings.

The total budget for the nine provincial and demonstration schools is $87.6 million. This includes salaries, operating costs and capital expenditures. Only five of the schools are under review.

Deaf Schools Under Reviews:

Robarts School for the Deaf (London): 25 senior students and 40 elementary-aged pupils.

Amethyst Demonstration School (London): Maximum 42 students a year.

Others: Trillium Demonstration School (Milton), Sagonaska Demonstration School (Belleville), Centre Jules-Leger (Ottawa.)

Chick-fil-A Employee Signs To Deaf Customer

WATCH: Touching moment as Chick-fil-A employee signs to Deaf customer goes viral on social media.

FAYETTEVILLE, NC -- A mother and her Deaf daughter were moved so much after a North Carolina Chick-fil-A employee used American Sign Language while taking their order that the mom shared the touching moment on social media.

For the first time in her life, Cynthia Walker, a 20-year-old Deaf woman, was able to order her meal at the restaurant on Raeford Road by signing. Her mom, Terri Buelman, says she was surprised and overjoyed when she realized the cashier knew and used sign language.

Buelman says it was the first time Cynthia was able to order something without feeling uncomfortable with people staring at her.

"People just look at her, then they look at us at what we do, so we had to order for her," explains the mom about previous situations.

Buelman says they heard about a cashier at Chick-fil-A who knew sign language and had helped other Deaf and Hard of Hearing customers with their orders.

When they went there, they found Taylor Anez, a high school senior. After hesitating, Cynthia started signing and was surprised when Anez signed back. It was a monumental step of freedom for the young woman.

The restaurant manager didn't know Anez could sign, but the young cashier says her relatives are Deaf and she learned so she could communicate with them.

Cynthia's story and the video have gone viral. Her family has set up a GoFundMe page to help raise money to get her a hearing service dog.

HIV Is A Gay Disease. Own It. End It.

HIV is a gay disease... like it or not... Queer people not happy with campaign ad in California.

LOS ANGELES -- At least it is according to a controversial new ad campaign being deployed around Los Angeles on billboards and in print. And who is doing this? Not some radical conservative group, but the Gay & Lesbian Center of Los Angeles.

In this day and age, when you would think that we have come so far in the struggle to get middle America to embrace the fact that this is not a disease with an orientation, this comes along and is making waves even in conservative circles and feeding the fodder.

Response in the LGBT community has been strong, and according to many of the postings on the discussion board at the Own It. End It. website, not everyone is happy with it.

Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV) is a Gay Disease? Are you kidding? For those of us living with the shame and fear of being HIV positive, I'm angry. For those who've lived long enough to see the world begin to accept HIV as more then a gay disease, I'm offended. For those who expect more from our gay organizations, I'm disappointed. Most people will only read your flashy tag line and that's what they'll promote. This world is filled with misinformation, due to our short attention spans. Most people get there information from bits and pieces propagated by the evening news or a flashy headline. I expected more from your center. While the details of your ad are most likely accurate, you've done an injustice to your community. You've flown off course and I'm saddened by your decision to promote this hateful headline.

The Los Angeles Times article regarding the controversial campaign was quick to point out that the billboards will not use the "HIV is a Gay Disease" tag, but instead will simply say "Own It. End It." I frankly don't think that this distinction makes it OK. Own what? This has generated enough attention in L.A., at this point, that the casual observer know exactly what the billboards are asking gay men to do. Take ownership of a disease they didn't create. How can you ask us as a community to own something that has affected millions globally? And to a much greater degree worldwide the heterosexual populaion? It boggles the mind.

Personally, I'm not comfortable with this at all. Gay men have fought this stigma from the very beginning of this disease. To have it come full circle in an shock tactic campaign, even in the interest of public awareness, is not cool. And before anyone says, "Look, it says clearly in the ad that they don't believe that it is a disease with an `orientation'" let me tell you something:

I have taken enough marketing classes and seminars to understand that the initial impact of the bolded taglines is whatthe average driver on the streets of L.A. will remember, or the average reader skimming a magazine will read. This does a disservice to the disease, and to those stigmatized by employers, insurance companies, familes, and the public at large.
