Let Nyle DiMarco Teach You American Sign Language Using Emojis
The deaf model and queer heartthrob tweeted ASL using emojis.
Apparently, July 17 was World Emoji Day. (The date was picked because that's the date listed on calendar emoji on your phone.)
While the holiday is definitely more commercial in nature—to promote various emoji apps and accessories—something extra special did come out of it yesterday.
America’s Next Top Model cycle 22 winner Nyle DiMarco taught the masses about some helpful sign language using emojis.
The sexually fluid heartthrob tweeted:
Is it only me, or is Nyle projecting some rough relationship issues? Like, the only sentence I can make using the majority of these sign emojis is this:
While I know it doesn't translate exactly, it's close to, "Fuck, I'm hurt and rejected and we're no longer friends."
No Nyle!! Don't worry, we all love you!
