Over 85 Deaf and hearing people from all over the world share their stories, interviews, poems, and more in this anthology. Straight people also share their experiences. History in the making Fourteen years ago Raymond Luczak’s first anthology Eyes of Desire: A Deaf Gay & Lesbian Reader (Alyson, 1993) was nominated for two Lambda Literary Awards. It was also the first and only book in the world that focused on the Deaf GLBT community. As Luczak explains in his online subtitled video, “it was time to ... follow up to see whether the Deaf GLBT community had changed since then.” Eyes of Desire 2: A Deaf GLBT Reader features rarely-heard “voices” such as a Deaf Ethiopian bisexual woman, a hard-of-hearing intersexed transgender musician, a Deaf ex-gay man, a Deaf lesbian witch, a Deaf gay Asian, a Deaf lesbian FTM rock ‘n roll drummer, an older British non-signing deaf man, a Deaf black gay HIV-positive man, a hearing partner of a Deaf transman, a Deaf gay Hispanic man, a Deaf black lesbian tomfemme pagan, a Deaf gay hearing-aid fetishist, a Deaf Hindu lesbian, a DeafBlind Jewish gay man, a Deaf straight woman with two mommies, a Deaf leather titleholder, and a Deaf lesbian with an identical twin Deaf lesbian sister. Countries include Canada, Chile, England, Ethiopia, Germany, Iran, Ireland, Russia, and South Africa. Subjects cover coming out, family, identity, relationships, community, and activism.
