Gays' 'blood war' slammed
Herald Sun ^ | 16 January 2006

South Africa's blood supply service today slammed gays who gave blood this week without revealing their sexual status to protest the policy of turning away donations by homosexuals.

Some 120 members of the Johannesburg-based Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GLA) on Friday donated blood at clinics in response to a statement by the South African National Blood Service (SANBS) asking gays not to do so.

The group's members lied about their sexual status on an admission form and only after donating blood told the SANBS that 65 per cent of them had engaged in high-risk sexual behaviour and were unsure of their HIV status, while at least one member had full-blown AIDS.

"What bothers us is that someone could not do something like this without realising their responsibility to the safety of the blood supply," SANBS spokeswoman Ianthe Exall said.

"Blood donation is not a right, it's a privilege. Everybody has to meet the right criteria," she said.

This is not suprising, When one becomes a homo he has already rejected society norms of decent human behavier.

Do these people have any sense of responsibility at all?

Of course they don't! What did you expected?

No they don't. If they did they would not think that their imagined right to donate blood trumped the concern of the blood banks that recepients of donated blood not risk, AIDs and/ or hepatitis. These people are not only selfish they are to put it simply evil.

Or check this:

Deliberately Transmitting HIV

[...]
What is a "gift giver?"

A gift giver is an HIV positive gay man who deliberately transmits the virus, often times to bug chasers, or those willing to contract it. [...]"

Gays should be encouraged to give blood, and to identify themselves proudly. Then, when a gay needs a transfusion, they'll have a ready supply of gay blood to give him.

Some would like it! See my posts above.
