Wonderful! Now they appear to claim the "Right" to donate blood. What other 'Rights' will be next. Any suggestions?

aware of our strong opposition to the policy that bans sexually active homosexual males from ever donating blood, and that the students are dedicated to equal treatment and opportunity for all people, regardless of sexual orientation.
Fair enough, take it - just make sure to label it for liberals only.

The resolution states that were going to try and find someone else to take our blood. I have no problem with this as long as these UNH college student stipulate that should they need a blood transfusion it cannot come from the Red Cross blood banks. Only blood that is donated by gay men can be used.

I don't understand Nicholas Christiansen's objection to the ban. Borrowing from liberal reasoning, if just one life is saved through this policy, it will be worth continuing the ban.

They need some slogan to convey the idea that sodomy is more important than a healthy blood supply... how about
"S--- is thicker than Blood!"

My thoughts exactly. This is ridiculous!!!

Note to self: Donate blood to myself....Just in case... Actually that usually happens now just before surgery. When a surgery is expected to result in blood loss, they'll take out a pint and increase liquids from an IV. Then during surgery your own blood is given back to you.

Let them donate all the blood they want, say 8-9 quarts, then destroy the blood within 48 hours. If unable to destroy then mark it the blood as donated from a deadly source any only allow it to be donated to other openly gay persons.

Borrowing from liberal reasoning, if just one life is saved through this policy, it will be worth continuing the ban. These are liberals. Logic doesn't matter.

I guess they have a liberal cause hierarchy, evidently with the gay agenda at the top.

Some days I fear that I may click on ONE MORE of these threads, read one more of these stories, and my head may explode.
God help us all.

American
servicemen who were stationed in Europe in the 1990s are also banned from giving blood. Is that discrimination as well?
I think that if he knew servicemen are banned he would drop his opposition to the policy because he wouldn't want to be on the same side as the military. Just my opinion.

F---ing IDIOTS. The test for the HIV virus is for the presence of antibodies. There is a short period of time that an individual can be infected but his antibody titer is not sufficient to be detected. Active homosexuals and iv drug abusers should never be allowed to give blood for this reason.
To allow them to donate would be "Murder due to Political Correctness."

--> Yea i'm aware of the before surgery. But i mean, I am going to donate blood to myself that can be stored for an emergency (like unforseen surgery/accident.)

I don't know how they would really KNOW who is an "active homosexual" and who isn't.
So there really is no 100% safety mechanism at work here for blood donations. I think they ask you and it's the honor system for your answer.

I don't know how they would really KNOW who is an "active homosexual" and who isn't. My blood bank doesn't take any blood from any man who has had "sexual relations" with another man since 1977.
