‘Just the beginning:’ Nashville holds first blood drive for newly-eligible LGBTQ donors
WPLN News (Nashville, TN) ^ | January 19, 2024 | Marianna Bacallao

Posted on 01/24/2024 8:19:05 AM PST by fwdude

As Sean finishes filling out the paperwork for today’s visit, he reads the date back to himself: 1/19.

“Dolly Parton’s birthday, right?” he asks. He’s lying on a plastic-covered donor chair, clipboard balanced on his leg as he initials his consent. The phlebotomist who is preparing to take his blood pauses.

“Oh, is it?” she asks. “I didn’t know that.”

“Yeah, yeah. All gay men know that,” Sean laughs. He’s asked WPLN News to use only his first name.

At 49, it’s Sean’s first time giving blood. Last year, the FDA ended a 40-year rule that prohibited gay and bisexual men from giving blood.

Funny how this little fruit has to interject his queerness into the blood donation conversation up front, even though he isn't asked about it.

These people are insufferable.

Well, if the blood is tested before being dumped into the tank/bag with all of the others this could be fine. But, I am sure that some Aholes would say that is discrimination — yeah, it is. Against diseased blood.

Before the ban, haemophiliacs were getting AIDS from the contaminated blood products they had to take to stay alive. The gays were literally killing them by donating blood.

We’re going to virtue signal our way to extinction.

These people are DEFINED through their sexual fetish.

Their sexual fetish is their self identity.

Fetish (noun): an activity or object that someone is interested in to an extreme degree and that the person gives an unreasonable amount of time or thought to: https://dictionary.cambridge.org/dictionary/english/fetish

Nashville sure turned into a third world schidthole since the rappers and hippies took over C&W music. I never dreamed I’d live to see that. Thank the Lord for Amazon and “bargain bins” full of CDs with REAL Country music. The crap Nashville is pimpin now sounds like Alien Cowboys from Uranus.

The FDA. Like most feral agencies these days, not on the side of the American people.

Whenever a major institution changes policy toward lgbtq it’s usually one activist individual driving the change and no one having the guts to say anything in opposition. Classic example is the American Psychiatric Association. Homosexuality used to be classfied as a mental disorder until one lone “psychiatrist”, a homosexual himself, forced the organization to change their stance. As for the FDA there probably were many doctors opposed to the change in policy toward blood donation but powerless to do anything about it. The lgbtq juggernaut will steamroll any opposition.

Their sexuality is their god. They are self worshiping. Narcissism is Is the bedrock of satanism.

Ryan White (hemophiliac) got AIDS from homo blood.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ryan_White

And now his name is on a federal act to protect and provide “free” benefits to those people who killed him.

Only in America.

How do they test? I’d be as equally concerned if a donor had been vaccinated/boosted for Covid, actually. I know they don’t even think about that OR indicate so.

My sisters and I have all agreed that if any of us need a large amount of blood we will just hook that sister up to the rest of us. LOL. We figure we have shared everything else for the last 60 or so years, sharing blood should be a snap.

Can’t do that unless your blood groups match.

We tried to get a local hospital to let us donate blood for a family member’s upcoming transfusion.

They wouldn’t allow us to.

I guess we all need to find a way to draw our own 😂🙃

Because it's all about the self esteem of the donor, not the health of the recipient.

Historical sidelight: Back in the very early days of AIDS, before the restrictions now lifted, Isaac Asimov was among those who died of it from a blood transfusion. Along with a lot of others not so famous.

One way or another (blood, vaccines, food, water), the elites are going to punish those who are not lock-step with the program.
