Following Jen's post about the march in Copenhagen earlier to recognise their sign language, another Danish march took place in Aarhus. Here's some footage:
Part 1:
Part 2:
Via Isabelle's Sign Language Blog.
If we ever marched in the UK again, you have to wonder if simultaneous marches would be a good idea, or would one march work better? I know what I think, but use the comment box and let us know your view.

Dear Alison and Jen:
I just read your "About GOD" explanations, and it suits me just fine.. but I have one question: Your #4 statement reads,
"4) We will not respond to any requests for apologies. Sorry."
Good one! But why did you apologize?
Grin!!! I LOVE IT

We decided it was better to apologise for not apologising, because that made us seem politer, and meant that people would probably hassle us less ;o) I am not sure if it worked, though - what do you think?

Thanks for posting those videos about other International Day of Sign Languages events/marches. I appreciate this very much. I look forward to even bigger and more powerful demonstrations/events next year especially with the serious Oralism backlash happening all over the world currently.
