Public health and safety should not be sacrificed for political correctness.
Wannabe blood donor Cain added, "Am I my brother's keeper?"
I donate three to four times a year to Red Cross blood drives. I'd move to one of the community based drives if Red Cross caves.
Hey fags keep your blood to yourselves. Along with your Johnsons.
Gays were hoping that AIDS would have ceased being a predominately gay disease after so many decades. This should help mainstream it into the population as a whole.
With the gay community it has overwhelmingly been about legitimization of their lifestyle. Anything that cast a negative doubt on their lifestyle MUST be eliminated from the public square so as to facilitate the "Image" of normalcy for their lifestyle in the eyes of the public at large which does not look at it the same way they do.
Well, yes ... if they've already got AIDS, why bother with safe sex. Otherwise this statement doesn't make any sense to me.
They just hate being treated like, well, lepers.
Never mind that AIDS is fairly associated with homosexuality, and that it was bisexuals and drug users who "helped" AIDS break out into the general population.
Concurring BTTT.
There was an article somewhere that some gays are contracting HIV on purpose as a show of solidarity with their infected brethren.
As for this article, a gay person does not have to donate blood to assist the red cross. A simple donation or volunteering would suffice.
And when homosexuality got thrown into the PC and "diversity" platform they got a big boost. Lets face it, we cannot be a true multicultural society unless we become an "anything goes" society. Now if thats what we want, then of course we should mix a little homosexual blood into the blood pool. In fact, a true multiculturalist would want the blood mixed with all donated blood before it could be given to anyone. I hope this is one of the last gasps of the PC movement. It has to be killed now.
Your point is well taken. The thing that amazes me is the denial of fact by the homosexuals themselves and the pro-homosexual left which would deny the facts of health risks to make their PC agenda go forward. And I know full well how some of them would run like a scalded dog away from blood from gays were they to have an operation and need it. They know the truth but act as if they live in denial of it because to them world view and agenda is much more powerful and right than common sense truth and facts supporting that truth.
You are when you could possibly poison people Mr. Cain.
People donating blood are discriminated against for a whole host of reasons. This guy needs a real life.
There was a study in NYC for Gay Men who belived they were were HIV/AIDS negative. I recall 500-1000 subjects volunteered. 75% of them were positive and didn't know it. The impetus for the study was the resurgence of "unsafe" sex in the gay community. Mr. Cain, blood is a valuable asset in lifesaving. Intentionaly delaying that life saving by 75% should be a crime.
Exactly.
I work for The Red Cross..
ANYONE who engages in risky behavior will be declined...
Period.
I am sick to death of this PC garbage.
We also refuse (temporarily)people who travel to malaria risk areas..
What next?
Are the tourists going to sue?
Yeesh
Ms.B
The Red Cross won't take my blood because I lived in Germany for longer than 6 months between 1980 and 1990.
Why can't they start the "Gay Blood Donation Foundation?" I know, because nobody (including gays) would want the blood...
