“I don’t think it’s that different from diabetes.”

Some people won’t go out with someone who has diabetes.

In any case, they are two different things. One is a physical ailment, and one is a personality/psychological ailment. There are some people who would not go out with someone with diabetes but would go out with someone who has anxiety, and others who would not go out with someone who has anxiety but would go out with someone who has diabetes. They both are reasonable decisions. Each person has to know himself and has to know which things are an issue for him.

Of course, we don’t want to create a situation in which anyone who has some kind of issue can’t get married. But that doesn’t have to be the case. Everyone has to think carefully about which things would be a problem for him personally and which things wouldn’t. For every issue that a person can have, there is someone who would go out with people who have that issue (unless the problem is one that renders him unmarriageable). The important thing is that one should be honest with himself and not be acting on prejudice on the one hand but at the same time, not to be so open-minded that he does something stupid.
