That's true that most of people cannot respect ASL, because they don't understand ASL as same as thousands of people speak international languages. America is a country that's for English language, but ASL does not have a seperate country. We know that sign language is obviously the poorest popular language, but we don't care it. It's our real deaf culture. I noticed the same situation was that a nice white wife was proudful to hang out with her Indian husband openly. They kissed together. A baby was his wife's lap. Her hasband kissed the baby's forhead. They both didn't care what their witnesses were glancing them...:roll:
For me, I've brought people who weren't interested and it really just wasn't any fun for them or even for me anymore because I was worried that they were bored and wanting to leave and thinking it was stupid. I've also seen other's bring friends who have no interest in Deaf Culture and it's weird because when that person is trying to learn and get to know people and you're signing with them, the friend usually decides they want to leave and you have to stop in the middle, or they're just talking to the friend the whole time. Seriously, I know it's hard going by yourself but you really will have more fun and get more out of it if you just push through a couple times. Good luck hun!
