‘Born This Way Presents: Deaf Out Loud’When to watch: Wednesday at 8 p.m., on A&E. This documentary special about three predominantly deaf families plays like a backdoor pilot, which means that if it does well, my guess is it will be turned into a regular series. That would be great given how underrepresented deaf people are in TV and pop culture — but really because the profiled families are incredibly compelling, thoughtful and telegenic. Deaf families are not a monolith. Mainstream schools work well for some kids, and other kids prefer schools for the deaf.
