    I met you at the grand opening for the ASL Shop in LA recently. I told you that I had seen you in my ASL 2 textbook. I wish that I had seen this poem from you prior to meeting you. I had tears watching this as it is all too relatable. The journey of coming out of the dark closet, into the beautiful world full of love, and the vibrant queer community. Thank you for sharing.

    Lot's of tough emotions we go through before finally throwing the door open. Lot's more afterward too, getting rid of years of baggage. Appreciate you, Justin.

    You signed out in handshapes of only "5", "closed 5", and "S" beautifully! Thank you for sharing.

    I would learn ASL in a heartbeat for someone this good looking. The beauty of the poetry alone makes me want to.
