Big deal marriage or prison it’s the same thing.

How ‘gay’ can you be if you give up being a sperm donor?

You did it for a year. Now you can do it for the rest of your life. Save your soul.

EXACTLY!!!


But there IS hope!!!

1 Corinthians 6:9-11

9. Do you not know that the wicked will not inherit the kingdom of God? Do not be deceived:
Neither the sexually immoral nor idolaters nor adulterers nor male prostitutes nor homosexual offenders
10. nor thieves nor the greedy nor drunkards nor slanderers nor swindlers will inherit the kingdom of God.
11. And that is what some of you were. But you were washed, you were sanctified, you were justified in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Spirit of our God.


If you could NOT change, you would be in most pitiful shape...

I don’t think he did either. There are quite a few out there that told homosexuals to lie about it to be able to donate blood. Only those that are truly evil would inflict this death sentence upon the innocent.

Yeah, I’m sure he didn’t have sex for a year.

The new recommendations came out less than a year ago, so he didn’t have time. What a liar.

Homosexuals should *NEVER* be permitted to donate blood.

More accurately, men who have sex with men shouldn't be allowed to donate blood. It's BEHAVIOR that is risky, not the propensity. There are celibate men who have same-sex attraction who have never gone down that road.

Arthur Ashe thanks the gay community for donating.

So does the child Ryan White.

I lived in Spain for 3 years in the early 1980s. My son was born there and thus is also disqualified from donating.

Good thing we’ve got millions of people in this country, otherwise we might have a donor shortage.

When you get out of prison, you are not expected to continue to pay the equivalent of spousal support forever. :->

They should not be donating blood.

I am not allowed to donate blood because I lived in France for 3 months in the eighties, for school. They’re worried about mad cow disease.

By now I think the symptoms should have shown up. But still... I don’t want to endanger anybody.

What is wrong with these people.?

The lobsters may be our friends, but we are not his. I can’t Kapitalize on that enough.

You are absolutely right. We should err on the side of caution.

First, how can you trust a person’s word?

Second, doesn’t HIV hide in the body for a long time?. I’m not sure.

As I said, have not given blood since I learned that I may have some tiny risk of mad cow disease because I went to school in France in the 1980s.

I understand! I am a type O. Would love to give blood.

But I studied in Europe and they are worried about mad cow disease.

Superbacteria will have massive consequences. My father overused antibiotics. He got prescriptions when they were not needed. He did not finish them.

He was a lawyer and had doctor friends who gave him what he wanted period even when it was just a cold.

He ended up dying of pneumonia and he had MRSA.

I visited him several times this spring, in Chicago, right before he died in April.

I kept washing my hands all the time.

I wish he could have seen the Cubs win the World Series, though. He loved every sports team in Chicago.
