PC madness. When the doctors put PC ahead of health and safety we're in trouble.

They misspelled “slaughter” as “save”. Plenty of potential donors outside that less-than-two-percent.

When this goes into effect I’ll simply stop giving blood altogether.

I had 2 good friends growing up who were hemophiliacs and were killed by AIDS infested blood.

Sounds like bullshit to me. We’re talking max 3% of the population here, and all of a sudden “Lifting a ban on blood donations from gay men would increase the amount of available blood by hundreds of thousands of pints (liters) each year and save more than a million lives a year..........”
So what are they going to do? Keep them in a cage to keep them from virus, and infections natural to that lifestyle, and extract blood daily? Don’t they, and other Leftist sorts have a thing about caged animals? I don’t get it.

If they’re going to be idiots and allow this, then blood donations from gay men should only be allowed for use on other gay men.

“The researchers said HIV diagnosis continues to increase among men who have sex with other men - especially young men age 13 to 24. HIV increased 132.5 percent among younger men.”

You can still give blood, but you had better declare that you will not accept blood.

This is a complete lie.
And what they don’t tell you is how many will be put at risk.

Sounds like a set-up for Obama to allow it just before leaving office, to me.

Last paragraph says it all.
HIV is discriminating against gay men almost exclusively. This is 2014..doesn’t HIV know it’s wrong to discriminate based on sexual preference..

Islamoterrorists, diseases brought in by illegal alien invaders, idiots playing with Ebola and now this. It's almost as though the government is trying to wipe out Americans. JMO.
RIP Tom Fogerty.

Queers have wanted to spread HIV to the general population since the virus was identified in 1983.
Read the story of Kimberly Bergalis.
