we dont have many friends in IR's, but we have always been the friend that everyone comes to for advice.
as far as public occurrences we have only had one major an some staring but for the most part we dont get much attention. i guess its just more common around our area. everyday i see at least one couple like us.
back when i was living with my mom ,close to predominately Caucasian area. we got the one an only comment , we were in the grocery store of all places picking out ice cream an some ignorant guy walks by an says "your parents must be real proud
of you"
we just dont think much of others views on IR. its their ignorance an god well do his job one day
