This is too timely. I donated plasma at work on Tuesday, and I was thinking about this very thing as I read through the “checklist” they give you.

One of the disqualifying questions reads, “*For Men* Have you ever had ANY sexual encounter with another man.” If you answer yes, you’re done. There are numerous gay men in this organization, and I’ve seen every single one of them donate blood at some point. They aren’t afraid to say they’re gay, but they lie on a blood screening, presumably to get a free HIV/AIDS/Hepatitis test. Sick!

So essentially they’re asking blood banks everywhere to spend more money on supplies and permit gays to donate despite the higher incidence of HIV/AIDS and hepatitis among gay men. Thus, blood banks are going to be wasting their time, money, and equipment to take blood and then have to throw it out because it’s contaminated.

Disgusting.

Right, all they have to do is lie on the pre question screening and they can give blood. Now to my knowledge they screen all blood they gather for STD’s if someone is found to have an STD then they may not actually discard this blood but rather use to for transfusion of people with like illnesses. It's still really gross to think about though because everyone makes mistakes when handling this stuff.

Pretty soon gays and lesbians will be permitted to go around the workplace and do whatever they like i.e. harass, wear revealing clothing and what not just because the libs will have them protected from discrimination somehow. It will get worse before they all get shoved back in the closet.

As an 18 gal. donor I know the drill. Last year I saw one of our local militant gay activists donating. This is a flaming homo who wears a shirt that says “smile if you like getting it in the ass” I turned him in.
