Battle over blood (Professor wants to ban blood banks as "discriminatory")

"The blood banks say if you are gay you are second-class, your blood isn't worthy," Luttmann said. "If the administration is really serious about the nondiscrimination policy, then we can't tolerate blood banks."

Aids scandals around the world

Patient infected with HIV-tainted blood used in transfusion

More than 1,000 people contracted HIV

Cedars Sinai Medical Center unknowingly infected over 114 children with HIV contaminated blood transfusions

Is AIDS a "gay" disease?

California Homosexual Organization Admits HIV/AIDS is "Gay Disease"

HildaBeast supports "gay" causes. Someone should ask her (it) if she (it) agrees with Professor Luttmann and his campus "gay community".

I can just hear the reporters now from the Lamestream media, "Hey, your Thighness ! Should "gay" people be encouraged to donate blood that is far more likely to be tainted with AIDS ?

[Atchafalaya]

I believe it has to do with Mad Cow disease.

"The blood banks say if you are gay you are second-class, your blood isn't worthy,"

And they are right it's not.

The world is rapidly losing any excuse for its continued existence.

If the FDA started allowing gay men to donate blood, I’d consider refusing a blood transfusion if I ever needed one. I’d still donate though.

They do have blood substitutes they give to people like JW’s who don’t want blood.

The blood drives don’t accept my blood because of some medications I take. I wonder if I have cause for a lawsuit? < /sarc>

[Dog Gone]

They ban me because I travel to Central America every year and it’s considered a malaria area even if I never see a mosquito on the entire trip.

I want damages! Punitive damages! DISCRIMINATION!!!

I love how they have to be PC and state its not sexual orientation; its sexual history

what’s that saying “a man can build 1,000 bridges and never be known as a bridge builder, but....”

I want to ban liberal proffesors. They discriminate against free thinking people and apparently heterosexuals.

[Tax Government]

Discrimination = lawful exercise of personal judgment.

[Tax Government]

Nashelsky, whose grandmother received blood during a medical emergency five years ago, said he has donated about 20 times in her name, opting in his words to "lie."

It should be a serious crime, in the same category as attempted murder, to falsify a medical history when giving blood.

[silentreignofheroes]

Easy enough , “Happy People” get blood from their own type,the rest of us poor folks take care of our own.

[Marysecretary]

Well, her hubby allowed it to happen in the prison system in Arkansas and hundreds of people were infected in Canada with HIV from the blood they took from the prisoners.

Current HIV test can’t detect the disease if the donor recently contracted HIV. It takes time for the antibodies to develop. There was a case a few weeks ago of someone who got HIV from an organ transplant. We are not safe unless all homosexual men (the majority of carriers) are rejected.

[EBH]

Better yet...

This man is interfering with MY Right to LIFE, liberty, and the pursuit OF HAPPINNES

[Wil H]

The elephant in the room that EVERYONE ignores is that the homosexual lifestyle carries significant, potentially lethal, health hazards as is proven by the fact that a blood bank will turn away blood from gay males.

But do the health hazards of homosexuality ever get discussed? Are children warned about the LETHAL DANGERS?

They are told of the dangers of alcohol and drugs, but gay behavior? - Have at it, it’s “normal”!

We all are supposed to “accept” homosexuality or be branded a bigot. The press and the Gay lobby sweep the problems under the carpet as they beat the drum that there is nothing deviant about their behavior.

God, it would appear, has a different opinion.

[17th Miss Regt]

Or are we supposed to believe that AIDS is just a conspiracy theory? I bet it’s that ....

No, AIDS is quite real. It was designed by a cabal of Jewish doctors that wanted to kill off blacks. I know this is true because the Honorable Louis Farrakhan (Peace Be Upon Him) told me so.

Arthur Ashe was unavailable for comment...

[Iron Munro]

But its not fair that only homos (full or part time) contract AIDS from other homos.

To make it fair they have a right to poison us all.

That way we are all equal.

/sarcasm off/

[chaosagent]

Well, I can’t give blood because I’ve had malaria.

Who can I sue?

[CodeToad]

I see no reason why sodomites should not be banned from giving blood considering they are the primary carriers of AIDS. Anal sex is nothing to be proud of or protected as special under law.
