They shouldn’t be allowed to. People who have travelled to countries with Ebola out breaks aren’t allowed to

IF you are donating to a blood bank associated with a teaching med school ( e.g Stanford blood bank), you can give but the blood is used for research purposes.it is never in the same room as blood for people who need transfusions

I donated right after 9-11. It wasn’t until 2002 that I was forever banned because I had been stationed in Germany in the early 1980’s.

So shut up, FAGGIES!!! You worthless disease ridden drama queens!!

I wonder if a gay man needed blood and was told his transfusion was from another gay man....

Would he be concerned?

My guess is yes, unless he was already HIV positive...

Homosexuals still engage in risky behaviors.

Yeah, given that the rest of us don’t want their diseases.

They don’t want your blood if you have had cancer within the last 12 months. That was me, and it was something that I had no desire to share with others. What is up with these people?

They want heterosexual America to experience the full experience of being LGBT.

I believe you took the words right out of my mouth!

So damn tired of these whiners. I really want to see the faces of the money men/women/things behind this constant pushing of this sick weird twisted lifestyle freaks.

Saw a dude in a skirt today at the grocery store. Twirling his long hair all casual...I laughed, arrest me!

A good friend’s husband had been diagnosed with pancreatic cancer and they were considering surgery for him. She asked me to donate and all I could say was ‘if they allow direct donation, I will’. The hospital said no. There was no surgery after all and he died two months later. I know I couldn’t have helped him anyway, but it still aggravates me 9 years later.

Leftist environmentalists have stated they have a goal to reduce the World population by billions of people.

Using is a trait of the left, and here we possibly see them using the gay issue to spread incurable disease to achieve their goal.

Just a thought.

> It’s 2016 . And there’s STILL no cure or vaccine for HIV

The leftist homofascists want to infect as many straights as they can for payback. The same way they want to convert straight children to fellow homo perverts. There's no other way to say it - They're mentally ill.

“petitioning the FDA to change its policy and screen donors “based on behavior, not sexual orientation...”

For the most part it is the behavior, not the orientation, that concerns people about homosexuals.

As a cancer survivor who had to receive many units of blood transfusions, and knowing many others who have been in similar predicaments, it is quite personal to me to loathe people who want to increase the risks in the blood supply, just to serve some socio-political cause.

Label it GAY BLOOD.
= = =

Don’t have to do that.

It’s not red, it’s RAINBOW.
