If queers would just start having vaginal sex, they'd be in the clear.

But if they did that then they wouldn’t be queers.

That does it - I’m starting a family blood bank.

This isn’t about them being able to.
It’s about removing a stigma.
Their desire to remove that stigma, is more important than
everyone else’s right to good health.

Sad thing is, I don’t think you can store blood for more
than 30 days.
It may have changed in recent years. That used to be the
standard.

Yeah, I will probably do nothing. I don’t even know my own blood type :-)

What could possibly go wrong? Syphilis,hepatitis,AIDS and a million other disgusting little viruses and bacteria...all infused into those undergoing major surgery,cancer treatment,etc.
To: enumerated
I think mine is B Positive. The Negative is more rare.

Woke Canada needs to inform with and put out detailed research papers on TV and online as to why so as to keep people safe. They do want to keep people safe, right?

I thought it was the Babylon Bee, but it wasn’t. It seems like every day, there’s another outrage.

They’ve been working on clearing this stigma for years.
I don’t know the present climate and threat of HIV to that
community, so it’s hard to give a complete observation
either way.
I still would rather error on the side of a safe blood
supply.
Feelings are one thing. Live and death is another.

Previous estimates from obituaries and pre-1994 sex surveys suggested that the median age of death for homosexuals is less than 50 yr.

Thanks Mark17. I agree with your take on it.
They have a pier review committee of 8 year old children
investigating things to whine over.

...the median age of death for homosexuals is less than 50 yr. I've done research of my own. Yes, it's well below 50. And that's in an affluent group out of Dallas.

Even if the blood is disease-free, it might turn you gay.

We may need to start private blood banks. It may be an imperative.

Okay, that explains why they’re fighting to be allowed to donate. HIV adds 14 years to its infecteds age, even if taking PrEP. They are prone to dementia (officially called HAND: HIV-associated neurological disorder), cancers, kidney disease, premature death, et al. Bad disease to get from blood donation.

I can’t think of another reason.
I don’t think they can cleanse tainted hood.
