Reply to comment by lav__ender in Justina Miles, deaf performer who went viral at Rihanna's Super Bowl halftime show, opens up in first interview since the game by OregonTripleBeam

This is actually a major complaint of the deaf community. Sign language interpreters aren’t anywhere on the screen or even on the same stage and you have to go to a separate site to see it. She happened to go viral because people who did go to that site shared her out, but it isn’t accessibility to hide the disability access people.

You're absolutely right. I think the movie "Sound of Metal" did a great job of giving me awareness on just how much able-bodied and disabled spaces are segregated. Deaf and hearing folk respectively should be allowed to enjoy art at the same time. Will our experiences be the same? No, but fuck it, who cares? We can coexist.
