A man in the Deaf Community gave Mayor Pete a Sign Name, which is a sign unique to him. To receive a sign name can be, but is not always, a sign of respect and acceptance. I believe in this instance it is. I recently received mine and it’s a very wonderful feeling to receive one.
Mayor Pete learned the signs to thank the man in ASL.
I was so moved by his humanity and kindness, and respect. I miss this kind of behavior in the White House.

The more I hear of this man, the more I like him. Unfortunately, and sadly, I'm afraid his sexual orientation is going to keep him from making it to the white house.

Maybe not this year, but he will not disappear! He will be a force in this country for a long time. Franklin Graham is getting heat from all over for his comments about Mayor Pete, while he says nothing about dt's adultery, divorces, very unChristian like behavior .... |

Deaf community do give name signs for people we don't like or respect, etc. We have name signs for Trump, Nixon, and Clinton - to name few that the majority don't like or respect. |

I fell off my chair laughing when I learned Trump’s name signs. I will correct my post! Thank you for correcting me. |

Hoping Mayor Pete can be on the ticket in either capacity. He is truly impressive and seems very compassionate. Exactly what we need.

Compare that to Trump's mimicry of a disabled person. It just sums up the vast divide between the two.

What is a sign name? Is it different than spelling out the letters in ones name in ASL? My knowledge of sign language is very basic. 😔

He's wonderful and SO needed to show what true integrity, courage and show of faith really are.

What is a sign name? Is it different than spelling out the letters in ones name in ASL? My knowledge of sign language is very basic. 😔 It’s a sign that represents you, rather than your name. So fingerspelling your name is fine, but it doesn’t differentiate you (say your name is Susie) from another Susie. A name sign is usually something about your appearance or personality. Here are some examples in my community. My friend Kathy has a beautiful smile and she smiles often. Her name sign is the sign for K, brushed near the edge of a smile. Another friend has a J for her first name, twirled down the side of her face like her curly hair. Another friend loves naps. His name sign is the R for his first name, resting on the side of his cheek as if he fell asleep. My husband is Todd. He fixes cars. His name sign is Ts that make the steering wheel sign. I’m Jen. I often wear statement necklaces. My name sign is a combination of J and the sign for Jewelry. My crazy son is Nathaniel. His sign is The sign for “busy” but with an N. My friend gave her daughter Evelyn, a name sign with the I Love You brushes near her smile because she smiles a lot and when you fingerspell Evelyn, it resembles the I Love You sign several times. Trump’s name sign is a flat hand flopping over the head like his toupee. Your name sign has to be given to you by a Deaf Person. I think it’s super cool. |

Mayor Pete’s is his initials, “bridging” his chest because of his speech to build a bridge, not walls. |

On the other hand, the media can also tear you down and swiftly as they can build you up. One minute you can be the "it" candidate and the next, the "whatever happened to" guy. |

One minute you can be the "it" candidate and the next, the "whatever happened to" guy. I am really counting on whatever is hidden in his closet not being much.I think it would have come out before now with his previous elections (state treasurer and chairman of the DNC, both which he lost). What I am concerned about is he hasn't really given us specifics on policy - whereas others (Warren) are. I think he needs to step up his game and get those out. |
