I thought I would have exactly the same problem as you equaliser, coming from a bigoted small northern town. My friends were a bit wary of what I was doing when I first told them about Wena, but they have all bothered to come round and chat to her online and get to know her, and at least give her a chance.
Maybe I have friends who don't like, but none have said anything other than good things to me - so in my wisdom I would say I am pretty good at choosing my friends. In fact one of them has just come back from Phils. recently getting engaged to a friend of my fiance.
But I will let u know if i ever do get any comments like that- if i do my response will be met with a wry smile, a smile in the knowledge that my asawa ko will bring me greater hapiness than he/she will ever know.
