"By continuing to allow the Red Cross on our campus, the university is telling all the gay, lesbian, bisexual and transgender students that we don't care about you," said student senator Shauna Bates, who is co-sponsoring the legislation.

Get a friggin' grip. It says, "we care about you enough not to expose you to potentially tainted blood." If the Red Cross didn't care, they wouldn't supply blood for operations involving these folks.

Perhaps the Red Cross could offer GLT (Gay Lesbian Transgendered) blood as a special item--like autologous (self-donated) blood, but, uh, different. It would be "special", and make these people feel special, too. My only suggestion would be that if you donated GLT blood, you'd have to take it when you needed a tranfusion.

There wouldn't be a lot of takers (or donors).
