NONFICTION: Speaking Hands and Hearts: The Deaf Leather Community

NONFICTION: Speaking Hands and Hearts: The Deaf Leather Community. By Rob Ridinger. The leather world's most vocal disabled minority group is the deaf. Leather historian Rob Ridinger presents a history of deaf leather contests, organizations, and artifacts.

The difficulties [faced by deaf leathermen] are most visible in bar interactions, with many hearing leathermen suddenly finding that the man they have been trading glances with all evening is actually deaf.
