Deafies in Drag - Deaf, Latino Comedy Duo

Meet two Deaf, Latino drag queens who earned internet fame.

The Deaf comedy duo, cheekily nicknamed "Deafies in Drag," has been making YouTube videos covering a range of topics, beat faces, death drops, lip-syncing, killer reads and tongue pops are just a few of the things that typically come to mind when we think about drag queens. The duo explains: who is Deafies in Drag?

Being deaf does not, but that’s just one of many differences that separates Casavina and Selena Minogue from your average queen. Sometimes they just have fun on camera, playing games like Heads Up, and other times they address some of the struggles that affect today's Deaf community. A few videos are makeup tutorials, and many are outlandish comedy sketches filmed in front of a green screen. Together, they have a simple, but important goal in creating videos: using humor to expose LGBTQ folks to Deaf individuals, and vice versa.

"The Deaf community is not strongly exposed to drag queens or [LGBTQ] culture, and the [LGBTQ] community is not strongly aware of Deaf people either.” Deafies in Drag told OUT. “So we try to expose both of them along with our third identity, being Latino, to share that we all experience oppression, discrimination and face a lot challenges in life. We take these unfortunate moments and turn them into comedy to forget the seriousness and not let it get us down."

Back in 2010, Jimmy and Alvaro first met at Gallaudet University in Washington D.C., the only Deaf University in the world. Shortly after, they began dating and have been together now for more than six years. While in college, the two loved making comedy sketches for Facebook. "But we felt limited doing just male characters and wanted to expand our creativity,” they said. “Drag opened the door for us, allowing us to express our ideas and stories more fully.”

Like many other late-in-life drag queens, they discovered the art through RuPaul’s Drag Race. "It was season 2, and we remember being so confused by RuPaul's identity," the pair said. "As we kept watching, we realized how creative drag was and how it’s flexible without any real rules. We knew that was exactly what we needed for our videos, and began learning makeup through YouTube."

And so began their experimentation with drag, creating various characters before settling on Casavina and Selena Minogue. A direct translation to "House of Wine" in Spanish, Casavina’s look and persona are heavily influenced by Amy Winehouse, while Selena Minogue is named after two of Alvaro’s favorite singers: Selena Quintanilla and Kylie Minogue.

Besides their immaculate makeup and comedic banter, the two have an arresting stage presence that's heavily influenced by being deaf. "It enhances our visual,” they said. “Facial and body expression is part of American Sign Language, and it helps us to paint a certain look that goes with [our] facial expressions." Their grand gestures and over-the-top facial expressions lend itself perfectly to drag, making for wildly hilarious videos that simultaneously spotlight intersectional issues.

Once their channel, Deafies and Drag, started to gain more widespread recognition, the duo began traveling to various cities, where they met with fans for the first time. "They made us realize we were doing more than just fooling around on videos," the two said. "We were helping to spread awareness of our barriers. This motivated us to use our drag to spread positivity and educate people through comedy."

Since creating a platform for themselves to reach out to members of both the LGBTQ and Deaf communities, the two have not stopped educating the public, projecting positivity and ultimately inspiring hope. "We believe that no matter what obstacles or challenges you face, there is always another way to get around it," they said. "We don't let society put rules and limits on us just because we're deaf. It's important to know that whatever dreams you have, you go for it."

The video producer by theHolism is also known as Barry Sewell posted on social networking for the Deaf and Hard of Hearing community. Barry Sewell's statement on YouTube, claiming Brian "Tayler" Mayer, the owner of the DeafVIDEO.TV social networking website is the hub of bullying, stalking and far left politics.

"I've been asked by some of my long time fans if I'd consider returning to the web site where I used to debate as a vlogger. My answer to that was no. I will not return to this web site because I, along with so many others, were bullied and stalked for our unique view on things. Many of us had to put up with stalking and bullying tactics for many years at this web site. It's been realized that the owner may have allowed them to happen towards those who did not share his view on things. So I say, thanks but no thanks. It's clear that critical thinkers were not welcomed. In short, I do not belong there. Many of us don't. Bullying or stalking is never okay. Thank you."

Deaf and Hearing Worlds Unite - Shares Story

Deaf and Hearing Worlds Unite: North Dakota couple shares story.

DES LACS, ND - It's said that marriage is the ultimate partnership.

And perhaps no two people know that to be true as well as Darrell and Susan Francis.

Tonight the couple shared their experiences with Minot State University students and community members, as part of National Deaf Awareness Week.

Susan has been Deaf since birth; Darrell is Hearing. The Des Lacs couple told stories and took questions about their forty-two year marriage - what it was like to meet, date, get married, and raise three children in a hard-of-hearing environment.

(Off-Camera) "When you first started dating, was it kind of frustrating for both of you on both ends? Or was it pretty easy?"

(Darrell Francis, Des Lacs) "It was... quiet."

(signing for Susan Francis, Des Lacs) "Yeah, he didn't know what to do."

(Darrell Francis) "Don't tell them everything!" "Raising a family of three boys, all hearing - she did most of that on her own, because I was working. I held two jobs. She did a great job raising the kids."

Darrell and Susan have nine grandchildren and Darrell says they've started picking up bits of sign language, too.

Deaf Basketball Player Heads To Nationals

8-year-old basketball star Zeke Ortiz says being Deaf has no limits.

FREDERICK, MD -- Ask 8-year-old Zeke Ortiz what he wants to be when he grows up, and he'll answer without hesitation - a pro basketball player.

Zeke has been playing since he was a 2-year-old, but he decided earlier this year it was time to step up his game. That meant leaving his YMCA league to join a more competitive team - the Playmakers.

To activate this feature, press the "CC" button.

"The team I'm with now is a challenge," Zeke said. "It's tough for me." But it wasn't the skill set or the level of competition that was the biggest hurdle in making the change for Zeke. It was the fact that none of his new teammates knew how to sign.

Zeke, his 10-year-old brother Zion, their parents, grandparents and nine cousins are all Deaf - and this was Zeke's first time playing a sport with hearing teammates.

"He's lucky that he was born into a family of Deaf people and to have Deaf parents, so he'd had full access to communication since birth," his mom, Jennifer Yost Ortiz, said.

Zeke, who attends a Deaf school, had always been able to communicate with his family and peers. When he joined the Playmakers, his parents say that for the first time, he felt lost.

"Everybody was talking," Zeke said. "I didn't know what they were saying or what to do. Nobody was interpreting for me."

"At the very beginning, the first practice, Zeke kept looking at me saying, 'I don't understand,' Ortiz said. "And we said, 'It's okay, just watch.'"

Without an interpreter, it was like a guessing game. Zeke couldn't do the little things, like hear a whistle blow or a call being made.

His father, a former basketball player, picked up on the coach's signals and was able to interpret plays and drills... Read The Full Story.
