Should be a fun thread, but PLEASE, no pictures!!!!!

.........said Roberta Sklar, spokesperson for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force

Oh just shut up.

[jwfiv]

Sounds reasonable to me.

Sayyyy ... aren't you supposed to be in class?

[skeeter]

Outraged over being barred from making sperm donations. Man, these "guys" are sensitive.

[cspackler]

I thought that they were more into "withdrawals" anyway...

[subterfuge]

Must...not...make...joke. Errrgh!

[Octar]

Good move. Withdrawls from the sperm bank should be restricted to women only.

[lilylangtree]

That rules out Bubba. He likes unprotected sex, regardless of oral or rape. Not enough money in it for Ketchupman. Gotta be at least 6 digits and he won't lower his standards.

Oh well, there's always the turkey baster method....

[isthisnickcool]

Homos are normal. Really!

[LetsRok]

Homosexuality is a birth defect. Why take the chance on passing it along to the next generation.

[Bluntpoint]

Better they be permitted to deposit at the bank than to let them mess up an ATM machine.

[theDentist]

Maybe they're forgetting the guys who are having unprotected sex in bathhouses *hoping* to get AIDS as some weird badge of honor...

"we know that even the International Red Cross accepts blood from men who have sex with men"

That's a bald faced lie. The question is right there on the form and it will get you deferred. Answering any of those questions in a way that would endanger the blood supply will get you deferred.

The banks must limit the risk of embezzlement.

"The FDA guidelines are unscientific. There is a 72 hour test which would provide information as to whether a person was HIV (news - web sites) positive, we know that even the International Red Cross accepts blood from men who have sex with men," said Roberta Sklar, spokesperson for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (news - web sites)

Oh how clever are the fagots. "We know that even the International Red Cross accepts blood..." implies that "lesser" organizations, such as the American Red Cross, "accepts blood from men who have sex with men." Have you seen the questionnaire the American Red Cross has a potential donor fill out? I don't believe it explicitly asks if you're a queer. But it does ask if you have had same sex. It even asks if you've been to certain South African countries where AIDS is rampant. If you answer yes to any of these questions, they ask that you not give blood. Mr. Sklar is correct that there is a 72 hour test. And the American Red Cross applies this test to the donated blood. No doubt this test, or something similar will be used for the sperm as well.

[Gamecock]

If they want to reproduce, let them do it like the rest of us!

[Jeff Gordon]

we know that even the International Red Cross accepts blood from men who have sex with men,

The US Red Cross does not accept blood from who have had sex with men.

There is a 72 hour test which would provide information as to whether a person was HIV (news - web sites) positive, we know that even the International Red Cross accepts blood from men who have sex with men," said Roberta Sklar, spokesperson for the National Gay and Lesbian Task Force (news - web sites).

Unfortunately HIV isn't the only disease homosexuals are known to suffer from. Testing their blood will cost a small fortune.
