What a self-centered jackass.

Mannle said Friday he wasn’t angry when he was told he could not donate blood. "I was in shock," he said. After thinking about how he was treated, he became incensed. "They never asked if I had unprotected sex," he said.

Leif Mitchell of Yale University’s Center for Interdisciplinary Research said Mannle’s complaint really has nothing to do with the Red Cross because the FDA requires it to ask the questions. Instead of inquiring about gay sex, screeners should ask donors if they’ve had unprotected sex, Mitchell said.
That would be as stupid as saying a junkie could give blood as long as he said he used clean needles! And since this deal was so important to Mannle (how do you pronounce that?) that he outed himself, what's to say he wouldn't have just lied about having unprotected sex? After all, nowhere in this article does Mannle say whether or not he has had unprotected sex!
Shawn Lang, a member of the Connecticut AIDS Residence Coalition and co-chairman of the state’s AIDS policy group, [said] more heterosexual women in Connecticut have AIDS than do gay men, he said.
I don't believe this for a second. There's some statistical gymnastics involved in that quote, or else it would have front page news long ago! When AIDS first became known as "a gay disease," the queer radicals promoted the idea that eventually, AIDS would ravage the heterosexual majority. We're still waiting.
What a self-centered jackass.
My sentiments exactly. The Gay-stapo wants you to believe that letting the practitioners of a dangerous, unnatural sex act give blood for the sole purpose of letting them feel good about themselves is more important than protecting the blood supply from the uncurable disease that's been killing them for two decades. How shameful!
