They contradict themselves? Even the homosexuals realize AIDS infection rates are highest amongst themselves? No secret, nevertheless, It is wise that the Red Cross not accept blood donations from this college.
If Gay men want to be able to donate blood, they should stop sticking their private parts up other mens' private parts and vice versa. Screw the stigma; it makes wonderful sense to me.
Let's see, I've recently been in a country that has malaria, and about 20 years ago I had hepatitis A, which is still in my blood. I think I should be allowed to donate blood, too. The victims of my rights can go to hell.
..Brokeback Bloodbank...
My mother died at age 58 from complications caused by hepatitus from contaminated blood. My daughters very close school friend died at the age of 15 from a blood transfusion for hemophelia. The blood he recieved was infected with the AIDS virus. This was back in the early 80's when AIDS was just beginning to be an issue. The sad thing was when this child heard about AIDS, he said that he sure was glad he hadn't got the disease from his transfusion. But he did. He just didn't know it at the time.
No! Now grow up!
