Interesting that the science is settled on the subject of global warming with very inconclusive data and observations while the science of blood born pathogens backed up with irrefutable evidence is ignored.

You cannot donate blood if you have piercings, or have traveled to Africa either. Are those discriminatory too? These perverts want to change the rules based solely on feelings rather than the facts. Fact is that AIDS is almost the exclusive domain of gays. No way around that.

If they ever accept gay blood, I will stop donating forever (except for family if needed)

I donate a lot of blood. If they start letting gays donate, I will NEVER donate again!

Right, and how many homosexuals would you believe if they told you they had been celibate for the last 17 days?

It is extremely useful to know who in your trusted circle of family and friends has your blood type and can donate immediately for emerging situations.

My husband and I and our children all have the same blood type.

Africa, heck! I’m not allowed to donate blood because I’ve spent too much time in England. Apparently, all the British beef I’ve consumed puts at risk for carrying Mad Cow Disease. It doesn’t take much to not be able to donate blood.

I couldn’t donate for a year because I was in a malaria-infested area for a total of a half-hour. Why should gays get a pass?

The Miteybad Solution:

Permit gays to donate blood only to a blood bank where the designated recipients are members of the House and Senate who are also members of the Democrat Party (the DEMGAYBB.)

All transfusion needs of the designated recipient group MUST be provided the DEMGAYBB. All pertinent current legislation will be amended to so reflect.

Use of blood bank services by Democrat members of the House or Senate from any source other than DEMGAYBB shall be punishable by imnprisonment for a period of not longer than 20 years, a fine not to exceed $5,000,000.00, or both.

You are so right about liberals and their hypocrisy about the gay culture. Apparently liberals still want to be assured that the blood supply is safe - so they have a reason to be grateful for the conservatives who supply the donated blood.

It’s really 100 percent, but they didn’t think the American people could accept that truth.

There is another reason for the ban: there have been numerous and recorded attempts to “poison the well” by gay activists, in other words mass attempts to DELIBERATELY infect the blood supply.

Thank God that the Red Cross and other orgs have steadfastly refused to cave to the buggery brigade. They ruin lives and society in all ways, yes, but the sheer horror of donated blood units being “ticking timebombs” (as one RC staffer put it) is the stuff of horror movies.

Normal people give blood. To make homosexualists seem normal they must be able to give blood too. See my tag line.

Does anyone just step back and ask "Why is less than 2% of the male population SO eager to doante blood?"

Seems a simple question. Maybe the answer is a desire to spread their diseases in the hope of accelerating the search for cures?
