God takes us on an individual level. Our walk with Him is also individual. People just tend to gravitate toward those who they feel comfortable with.

We are all His creation, but we are not all His children. He loves both,but there is a difference. One is "born into" the family of God through salvation. John 1:12 says this, "But as many as received Him(Jesus), to them He gave the right to become children of God, even to those who believe in His name." Denomination and race do not matter to God so long as one accepts His Son, Jesus Christ as their Savior. As for orientation, I won't comment because I'm not exactly sure what it is you're referring to.

Yes, He loves all of us, no matter how filthy we get.
Race is not a problem. That is just a color variation. The nicest boquets are made from a mixture of flowers!
Denomination is only a problem when it hinders love. It never hinders God's love for us, it only comes between people.
Orientation??? Sounds like the politically correct term for "My sin is acceptable to society, therefore God can just deal with it and shut up." God loves us regardless of what we do, but that doesn't mean He approves of all of our actions and thoughts.
Would you love your child if she was caked in dried mud and grease? Of course (I hope) you would. I bet you would also require she take a bath!

Not all people are God's children. Jesus accused the Pharisees of having Satan as their father.
A person becomes a child of God by choice. Those who put their faith and trust in Him and follow His commands are His children. People of the 'world' are not.

For all who are being led by the Spirit, these are sons of God. For you have not received a spirit of slavery leading to fear again, but you have received a spirit of adoption as sons by which we cry out,"Abba! Father!" The Spirit Himself testifies with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, heirs also, heirs of God and fellow heirs with Christ, if indeed we suffer with Him so that we may also be glorified with Him.

God loves everyone, but he does not approve of all that they do or how they live. Loving someone is one thing and having that person obey you and enter into your kingdom is another. God loves all the people that are in hell and didn't want them to go there.
Just because God loves you, that will not save you. You must choose to obey him and enter into his kingdom voluntarily.

Romans 9:8
In other words, it is not the natural children who are God's children, but it is the children of the promise who are regarded as Abraham's offspring.
Not all are God's children, only those who are saved or who are going to be saved. God's "elect"
But yes God loves all His children!
