they ARE friends with me and I have a daughter in a mixed race marriage--- that never bothered them,we belong to a woman's club and the past president has a gay son,who she adores---and that doesn't bother any of us---and as far as immigration goes we were all born in the 1930s---many of us had parents who were immigrants.
