I asked my friend Henrietta Bollinger, who helped substantially in developing my thinking coming to this legislation but who is also an impeccable artist and writer in her own right, what on earth I should say to celebrate the passage of this law today, which has taken two years and a whole lot of work. She just offered that it is important that deaf and disabled people are no longer invisible in this conversation. They have a whole lot more to offer than just their disability, but the richness of humanity and experience that all of us have, which exceeds and extends far beyond any of our most obvious caricature.
