Other countries have changed their policies somewhat as well...The Canadian policy was that if a man had sex even once with another man since 1977, he was ineligible. In 2013, they changed this to 5 years..... https://www.blood.ca/en/about-us/msm-policy .

Yup. Simply check the box on the form, and you’re good to go!

Note to self: Try not to never need a transfusion.

Note to self: Have close friends and family on had to give blood if I need a transfusion.

NURSE: “It says here you lead a homosexual life, is that true”?

LANCE: “I prefer gay”

NURSE: “Well, we all prefer to be happy, now when was the last time were you happy with another man”?

LANCE: “I don’t remember”

NURSE: “NEXT”

And if there is a severe penalty for lying, force em to give blood every 10 months.

[I want the USA back]

Sure. Kill normal people in the name of political correctness.

Who wants AIDS blood? Families will have to bank their own blood.

Seems to me that this is ripe for a legal challenge.

I guess the Jehovah Witnesses were on the right track when they refuse blood transfusions. I know a woman who is a JW and needed a blood transfusion - she declined it, of course, and instead ate beets - lots and lots of red beets. She did recover.

I’m permanently banned from donating blood because I was stationed in Germany more than thirty years ago.

The government now trusts faggies more than it trusts its vets. Got it.

Fag blood is stored in special brown bags.

[Williams]

IOW, gay men shouldn’t donate. How many are abstinent one year?

[CatherineofAragon]

The same group who goes around deliberately infecting one another.

[E. Pluribus Unum]

What happened in Germany?

[Kackikat]

If at all possible, give your blood before surgery just in case, and make sure that is blood they will give you if needed.

[Kackikat]

Interesting.

So is someone going to check their breath for the faint oder of semen?
