Nyle DiMarco Gets Sign Language Painted On His Body for 'Gay Times' Cover

Nyle DiMarco covers Gay Times‘ July 2018 issue, which is out on Friday (June 29).

Here’s what the 29-year-old model and activist had to say…

On the visibility of others: “There is a massive number of people, groups of people, who are not being heard or who are overlooked. Despite the power of social media, which could be a useful tool to educate people, we’ve become so divided and so afraid to open up, listen, and communicate. We need to start listening to each other.”

On supporting the hard of hearing in the LGBTQ community: “How can 466 million people with hearing loss join in on that conversation and find their ‘identity’ if they are denied access to what they’re saying? Often there are not interpreters at Pride events for Deaf LGBTQ people and allies. The best solution is to have Deaf and people with disabilities involved in organizing Pride events.”
