If I were heavy into all sports and loved racing fast cars;                                                                                                                 if I were shorter, taller, fatter, thinner, quieter, louder;                                                                                                      if I were an atheist, theist, gnostic, or agnostic;                                                                                                                    wouid you still love me?

If I were American, Asian, African, European, or other;                                                                                                                            democratic, republican, or non-political;                                                                                                        if my hair was black, blond, brown, or red;                                                                                                                  would you still love me?

If I had no arms, one eye, or one leg;                                                                                                                                could not walk, talk, dance, or sing;                                                                                                                              homeless, carless, or jobless;                                                                                                                        would you still love me?
