These do sound like ignorant people. I do wish you success. Thanks.

Hi, guys.
	I have some questions about a cultural conflict going on 
with some people who are trying to prevent me and my current 
boyfriend from marrying.  They state that because we are 
both totally blind, we would
1. Not make good parents or are not fit to be parents.
2. Would be unable to perform everyday tasks when indeed we've 
both graduated from the Colorado Center for the Blind x number of 
months ago.
3. That my boyfriend would be bored and lonely.  These men are 
Somali, so they state he should also marry his own kind, surely a 
sign of discrimination.  They are not willing to change.  How 
should we deal with them?  Thanks.
Beth
