“This is completely political, and nothing else. This is about normalizing f@ggotry.”
Absolutely. Faggies can now give because most of them are liberals.
I am forever banned from donating because I was stationed in Germany in the 1980’s - mad cow exposure, they say. The majority of those in my situation are military veterans - perceived as conservative by the FDA bureaucracy.
So we vets get f***ed and faggies are empowered.
+1.
no one in my family can donate blood b/c we lived overseas in the 80’s.
time to rethink the Mad Cow ban, and whatever the Africa ban was back then. we’re all willing and healthy people.

They’ve always wanted this. Now is the
opportunity.
Why would a gay person be any more upset about not being allowed to give blood as any other group that is forbidden to give it? Unless maybe they just want to be able to spread the “love” around.
The virus does because fewer people are donating blood. The surgeon general has asked people continue blood donations in task force briefings.
There’s no blood test for mad cow unlike HIV, hepatitis so blood supply can’t be screened for Creutzfeld-Jacob Disease (vCJD)
Two questions come to mind...
Where will the blood be donated?
Will the blood be tested before it is sent into circulation?
A suspicious mind might speculate that the blood will be tested for counter drug responsiveness, but that it won't be, and never was intended to be, put into circulation.

Some additional information would be helpful.
I keep repeating this, but research showed people with HIV age 15 years and die early, even if the patient was taking the Prep drugs. People with HIV should not be allowed to donate infected blood.
Blood banks usually pay a nominal sum.
That's interesting. I've been donating blood through Red Cross and my local blood bank for years and never received payment apart from the free snacks and juice they give you at the end to replenish your fluids and blood sugar.
That’s false. The questionnaire is wholly behavior-based in it questions. It doesn’t ask if potential donors are “gay.” It only asks if you are a man you has had sex with another man in a certain time period. This is science based on reliable statistics. It could apply to a male rape victim who doesn’t identify as “gay,” or someone who just got too drunk and was taken advantage of at a party.
It also applies to women who have had sex with a man who had sex with a man within a certain period of time, so there goes the “homophobic” argument. Anyway, sexually active lesbians aren’t deferred as donors if all other requirements are met.
because they can...
The demands of the leftist senators and other queer organizations is for the ban on gay men to be lifted COMPLETELY. Understand that they want sexually activate gay men to be able to donate after a night of Grindr “dates” with slews of anonymous men, or an ecstasy fueled orgy.
Of course, deep down the left knows that there is a window period after infection during which HIV will elude even sensitive tests. What they demand is for the same standard to apply to active homosexual men as applies to long-married, monogamous normal couples. In other words, they want any deferral periods to apply to married men and women that apply to them. This would absolutely decimate the blood supply, since this would defer donations from the vast majority of donors.
The left promulgates the lie that normal (“straight”) people are just as likely to transmit HIV as queer men. The solid statistics show otherwise.
Thankfully, many blood centers can be more strict than the FDA requires. I just found out that my local blood collection center, the largest in the area, still defers ALL men who have had sex with men.
Unfortunately, I can’t donate because of recent cancer surgery.
Thank you, fwdude. Well said.
