DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, July 15, 2013 -- New York deaf accuse Starbucks of discrimination! It was a shock when a group of New York deaf filed lawsuit against Starbucks for refusing to serve them. Truth? Did deaf people stay in Starbucks all day and not order much coffee? Was there communication problem while ordering Starbucks drinks? We will find out the truth about the lawsuit.   -- non-fluent ASL signers are scared Several deaf friends, some of them non-fluent ASL signers, are scared. If there are no more internet relay providers, they will be forced to use video relay services. When that happens there may be language barrier struggles between confused interpreters and non-fluent ASL signers!   -- A deaf man in Ripley's Believe It or Not! We have had some deaf people in the past making it in the Ripley's Believe It or Not! The latest is deaf rocker Sean Forbes, saying he has been deaf all his life but is a professional musican. First time in history? No, there was Ripley's Believe It or Not many years ago about a deaf man working in a factory making musical instruments!   Facebook: https://www.facebook.com/deafdigest1 Twitter: @deafdigest 07/14/13 Blue edition at: http://35.182.75.222/category/newsletter/newsletter-blue-newsletter/ 07/14/13 Gold edition at: http://35.182.75.222/category/newsletter/newsletter-gold-newsletter/
