Let him or his family be first in line to get blood from an unscreened blood donor...
Just because gays account for 2% of the population but 78% of all new cases of HIV and their lifestyle of promiscuity causes all sorts of diseases that shorten their lifespans is no reason not to dump their blood in with the population at large. /sarc
This is sick.
You are seeing the radical leftist “mind” at work.
They would rather have millions of normal people die miserable deaths, than have one of their favorite constituents be embarrassed an not being able to give blood.
Are democrats capable of passing this? I think so.
Just another example of the government deciding that their agenda is more important than whether you live or die.
I would think even gays would not want this.
Bad idea. People who engage in risky behavior should not be allowed into the donor pool. I am turned away because of a false positive. I understand why they must do that.You have to keep the risk down as low as possible.
Just peachy. If any one knowingly donates blood contaminated with Aids, Hep C..etc. they will be charged with attempted murder. I suppose they forgot that part.
Yeah, but heaven help you if you visited the UK ten years ago.
“He says the ban is based on decades-old fears that have been discounted by science.”
I swear I’m almost ready to punch the next leftist that pushes something insane by hiding behind this “science said so” bulls*it.
They might as well just stop screening altogether, and let recipients take their chances.
Oh, yeah, and force Christian bakeries to make cakes for them for after they donate.
Really? What science has discounted blood borne diseases from certain populations?
...and Mikee and his family get gay blood?
From the CDC website:

A chart with clear evidence that men having sex with men increases rate of infection.
And a statement (from our very own gubmint):
“Although MSM represent about 4% of the male population in the United States4, in 2010, MSM accounted for 78% of new HIV infections among males and 63% of all new infections”
(msm means men having sex with men)
Looking closer at the chart, being gay increases your risk by a factor of 12, over being a needle using junkie.
> Low said it was discrimination and called on the FDA to repeal the ban.
There are reasons that idiots get what’s coming to them and I see he is ripe for harvest...
How many countries let gays donate into their blood supply ???!?
And if they become infected then donor, the local blood center, and the people who approved this contribution should be held legally liable for their decision.
No if, ands, or buts.
If this ban is overturned it is just more proof that the US Government is practicing biological warfare against its citizens. Kinda like inviting a bunch of illegal invaders with serious communicable diseases to cross out southern border and then sending them all over the country w/o screening or treatment.
Its just not fair that some “folks” don’t participate in owebama’s plans to “spread the diseases around”. now that everyone has owebamacare what could possibly go wrong?
The concern on giving blood is for the potential recipient, not the donor. Really, in such a serious issue, who cares what you (gays) think? It’s not about you. Why do you care so much? You don’t, just want to raise a stink and endanger lives.
