"You so hurt my feelings."
Until they stop having unprotected sex in bathrooms and any other area they can sneak off to, and until they start showing they are living a clean lifestyle then I say they shouldn’t be allowed to donate blood. They just will infect others with their sicknesses and that is not right.
only a 9-6 vote on matters of extreme concern to public health? And the Supreme Court hardly ever does better than 5-4 on matters of personal freedom. I’m hangin’ by a thread, here, man!
I know the libs don’t care if they kill a few extra Americans in the name of diversity, but is the political symbol of giving gay blood to healthy people worth the ObamaCare cost of treating more HIV patients for however long it takes for the death panels to decide we’ve spent enough on them?
The hetero world should be made to share in the consequences of gay vice. Its just not fair!
I’m sure it would be a strain, but they should go ahead and accept all donations from homos, just make sure the transfusions go back into homos.
Maybe it wouldn’t be that much of as strain. They are soooo proud of announcing their sexual orientation to the rest of us, they should be proud to have it marked on their donations and health care admissions forms.
It is not okay to be gay.
I used to work as for the Red Cross.
The guidelines for donating blood are very strict and should remain so.
She has more backbone than any male politician out there right now. The Homosexual Nazis are really going to go ape-doody on her now!
If one can’t be happy in giving blood then why bother giving it?
“Gay rights groups and others say the 25-year-old policy is needlessly discriminatory, and the American Red Cross and other blood-collecting groups support a shorter deferral policy, down to as little as 12 months.”
And the homosexuals don’t really care if a few innocent people are unlucky enough to contract HIV from a transfusion. After all, why should that slow the advance of the Homosexual agenda?
One thing that could be done to encourage the Red Cross and others to maintain the safety of our blood supply is to let them know that if they lower their standards and allow homosexuals to donate then we will stop donating. Let the blood supply be filled with the blood of 1.5% of our nation that contributes 60% of the reported STDs. When women and children start getting sick and start dying then the public will go ballistic on the politicians.
Gays and other high risk donors can sell their blood for medical research and that's important, too.
According to Shilts’ “And the Band Played On,” which documents the history of AIDS, blood donations by gays was one of the leading causes of it spreading so quickly.
When the CDC suggested shutting down gay bath houses and restricting gays from donating blood, the gay activists protested so viciously that the CDC backed down.
Gay activists, in addition to their sexual practices, were the primary cause of this disease killing so many gays.
Sounds like the elimination of don't ask don't tell. The leftists do not care about consequences -all things homosexual must be embraced... The 'study' is simply a means to a predetermined end -an inherently flawed academic rubber stamp on lunacy....
I can’t believe it was just 9-6.. it should have been 15-0!
And they would allow these people to be part of the emergency blood supply for our military forces.
Where do you have need for emergency blood more than on the battlefield, but “Don’t ask, don’t tell” being overturned will mean that our troops are put at risk.
Not any gay can give blood to our civilian population, but they’ll be on the front lines for emergency blood if they’re in our military.
“Screw the fighting man” is the policy of the Obama Democrats.
They are so, so wrong, and so very dangerous to the American military.
I remember reading about some "thoughtful" South African homosexuals a few years back purposely tainting blood because they were banned from South African blood banks.
Some 120 members of the Johannesburg-based Gay and Lesbian Alliance(GLA) on Friday donated blood at clinics in response to a statement by the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) asking gays not to do so.
The group's members lied about their sexual status on an admission form and only after donating blood told the SANBS that 65 percent of them had engaged in high-risk sexual behaviour and were unsure of their HIV status, while at least one member had full-blown AIDS.
Link to SA blood tainting story
And who says homosexuals are morally depraved?
It's a good thing AIDS isn't a problem in Africa huh?
Even Vampires refuse to be around them.
I’ve never figured out why they have these restrictions. I thought all blood was tested before being used anyway?
