CNSNews.com) – Sen. John Kerry (D-Mass.) and Rep. Mike Quigley (D-Ill.) sent a letter signed by 62 other Democrats to Health and Human Services Secretary Kathleen Sebelius, supporting her agency's review of the policy that bans homosexual and bisexual men from donating blood. The Democrats say the ban is “outdated,” and they called the HHS pilot study an important step in "assessing the feasibility of allowing healthy gay and bisexual men to donate blood while maintaining the safety of our blood supply."

Thanks for you information. But >I have heard that sometimes
donations from a family member can be risky also, since
many family members lie about their past behaviour.

The truth is blood transfusion is risky anyway, and should
only be given when absolutely necessary, as in life saving.

There are some hospitals that will allow you to donate your
own blood months before an elective procedure. Or they use
low blood usage procedures.

Hey, you better check your fingers, hitting the “post” key
twice for one post is no good.

a “low risk” homosexual is like being a little bit pregnant.

“Low risk blood” has already killed tens of thousands just so the homosexuals wouldn’t feel offended.

What is the reason for this?

To spit on us and show us who really has the power?

To make queers feel better?

Does someone, somewhere believe it is necessary?

Or is it just another step in tightening the screws on us a little more?

"Hey! Over here! I'll take it - all you got."

"What difference will another gallon or two make?"

In some ways it’s good they’ve done this. It opens the door to discuss the actual health statistics of the gay community - cite the CDC stats all day long!!!!

Come on, how many homos/whatever actually WANT to give blood
that makes this so important?

How many people is this administration pizzing off?
It’s strictly a vote getter OR maybe it will backfire and be a vote loser?

It’s time for democrat blood banks and Republcan blood banks ... democrat hospitals and republican hospitals. People lying about their political leanings will be fined.

Sheet, we can't even get a simple thing like honest voting or ID to help make it honest.

Both sides are so corrupt it's impossible.

The right holds the screw while the left turns it.

we'll have donate to our ownselves....at least for elective surgeries...of course they'll probably ban that soon.....

if they allow homos to donate, then they've seen my last donation....I won't play along...

There is no such thing as a “low risk” homosexual male.

We need to separate from democrats - different newspapers - different web sites - different neighborhoods. I have no desire to live among liberals.

Yeah no kidding. You’d better eat your veggies, but if you want to risk aids and tearing up your “nether regions” with unspeakable actions, that’s fine.

Don’t eat animals because animals are our friends and deserve to live, but if you’re gay and want to do unspeakable things with hamsters and your bowels, go for it!

And they said Christians are hypocrites?
