Gay men seek right to donate blood
   
Monday October 3, 2011 9:51 AM

Gay men who want to donate blood have been turned away for almost 30 years.

A single sexual experience with another man is grounds for what blood banks call “lifetime deferral.”

The policy is set by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, which has been under increasing pressure in recent years to change the rule. The restriction has even prompted some to boycott blood drives in support of friends and loved ones who aren’t allowed to give.

In Columbus, people advocating change have decided to work with the American Red Cross of Central Ohio in an effort to both boost donations and protest the policy.

9. Is there a questionaire that asks if your're gay when you give blood?

If you don't have a problem screwing someone in the ass, I guess tell a lie is nothing to be concerned about.

29. They also ask if you've ever exchanged money for sex
   
I about knocked one of them off the chair when I asked, "Does that include child support?"

Your little bouncy is nothing but a delusional memory. The person probably thought, "Who is this DUmmy?"

6. Well, I'm sure there are good scientific reasons for the ban

and personally I would not want blood transfused into my body that might have the aids virus. Even a tiny bit of risk of this would be unacceptable to me.

I support this policy.

Getting in the lunch line.

35. I agree- especially since there are blood-borne diseases...
   
equally as harmful as HIV that are shared equally by all sexual and racial groups.
The blood tests have progressed immensely.

And there are blood-borne diseases that only affect certain sexual and racial groups.

19. yes, but I think there are studies showing that gay men
   
tend to be more promiscuous than the average and take more risks in sex, which would cause their blood to have higher risks.

One step close to the cashier.

HIV tests are expensive, the more sensitive they are the more expensive they are.  Even a good test can miss the HIV virus due to the fact that it is a virus, and therefore beyond just microscopic. 

From the CDC: Gay and bisexual men — referred to in CDC surveillance systems as men who have sex with men (MSM)1 — of all races
continue to be the risk group most severely affected by HIV.

19% of homosexual men had HIV or AIDS in a recent CDC survey, and 44% of them did not know it.  I'm sorry, but a 1 in 5 infection rate is ridiculously high.  That means that if a man has sex with 5 other men, the odds are he has had sex with a man who has HIV. 

They ask questions about a variety of topics to screen out as many blood borne diseases.  Tell me, oh great and knowledgeable DUmmy w8tlifting lady, which blood borne diseases should I be concerned about that blood centers do not screen for? 

[Tucker]

That means that if a man has sex with 5 other men,

Queers exceed that number in any given week.

I'm banned for life for having been stationed in Germany during the 1980's. Apparently Mad Cow disease or some such.

I used to donate regularly but you don't see me crying: I SERVED THIS COUNTRY! I HAVE RIGHTS!!!

It's not about me, it's about the patient.

44% of them did not know it.

Yeah, and ending DADT was a GOOD thing, too.

I'm barred as well. I had sun cancer (squamous cell carcinoma).

I have to have a full body check from my Dermatologist for the rest of my life.

Prior to that, I gave as often as i could.

[Freeper]

I was banned for a year after being in Kuwait. Maybe I should sue for discrimination almost 20 years ago. 

[Vagabond]

I received a blood transfusion to save my life when I was eleven.  Turns out striking (glancing) your head against the tow brace of a dumpster is a real good way to damn near kill yourself (bleeding out).  I don't know how many pints, but the doctor said I should not have been alive when I arrived at the hospital.

When I turned sixteen I donated every six weeks, broken only by time spent training with the army.

[GOBUCKS]

I wonder how many of the pro-queer-blood DUmbasses are straight.
My guess: none.

[FreeBorn]

Apparently these gay men, these FAGGOTS who don't like to be called derogatory names such as FAGGOT get a little upset when they aren't included in all the other reindeer games. Boo f*cking hoo.

It isn't enough for them to have forced their vile ways on the military outside of public opinion where it is always rejected wholesale every time.

Now these MEAT WHISTLE PIRATES want to force their infected blood on the populace and claim discrimination if it is not accepted on the basis that they are somehow "normal" and should not be ostracized in any way, pushing the "normal" meme all the while.

Well, get a grip, FAGGOTS, when you shove your junk up the backside of some other guy's digestive tract -A COMPLETELY UNINTENDED AND UNNATURAL ACT- there just might be some biologocal complications arising from that BECAUSE IT IS A COMPLETELY UNNATURAL AND VILE ACT. Get it? Of course you don't.

You want to shove your between-this-and-that-hood up your boyfriend's backside and you want the nod from the general public that this is all well and good.

It is not. It never was. It never will be. Homosexuality was never and will never be a civil rights issue. It is a morality issue.

That's not going to stop you freaks from hanging around schoolyards gawking at little boys and it's not going to stop married tenured professors from having trysts in the dorms with smooth boys who turn up dead from time to time whilst it all gets ignored by the media. You deviants will do what you do. Always the deviants.

Your lust for the mudline is the reason you will never be accepted as mainstream society. You will never cease to claim class warfare but the reality is your lust for the mudline will taint the bloodline.

You cannot be trusted. You are corrupted. You don't fit. You are rejects which cannot be admitted to the norm.

My cousin died from A.I.D.S. which she contracted through a blood transfusion during surgery. Her name was Amanda Blake. She was an actress who played "Miss Kitty" on the T.V. series "Gunsmoke". This she got at a time when medical science was unaware of this threat.

Today is different. Today we know full well the effects of what these FAGGOTS are spreading and these FAIRIES simply cannot be allowed to end the lives of countless innocents just so they aren't offended by having their feelings hurt with the fact that they are ANUS LICKING FREAKS who have NO MORALITY and live a life of debauchery which knows no bounds.

Don't get me wrong. I do not hate FAGGOTS, MEAT WHISTLE PRATES, FUDGE PACKERS, BUTT MONKEYS, GERBIL JOCKEYS, LIMP WRISTED LOAFER SHOD SWEATER BOYS or even that 16 year old with the mascara, lipstick and eyebrow piercing that came to my door last week looking for a donation for the school band trip to Spain. I don't.

I pray for them.

It is wrong that they seek to foist their blood, tainted as it is and they know it, upon the public for purely political reasons.

When my cousin contracted this vile filth from them it was unforeseen then but these days there is no excuse for anyone to die for the vile ways of another.

I have heard it said more than once that the HIV community believes that an AIDS pandemic would find a cure faster, but since it mostly affects groups that 'Da man' hates (gays, drug users, & minorities), AIDS research is more or less on the back burner.

So, by spreading the disease far and wide via blood donation, they will bring AIDS research to the front of the line.

[delilahmused]

AIDS & HIV can incubate for years so it makes practical sense to ban them.

Newsflash--AIDS research has outspent cancer research over the past 10 years.  If you want to put it in terms of dollars per death due to each disease in the US, AIDS research has outspent cancer research (per death) by an over 10-1 ratio.

And while it's tragic that over 2 million people a year contract AIDS (mostly in sub-Saharan Africa), only the most foolish, ignorant, and superstitious fools would think that raping 9-year old girls would cure it, yet that's what some people think.

Strangely enough, why is it the gay community is STILL the largest and fastest growing AIDS group in the United States?  Hmmmm...maybe because last time I checked, the "straights" didn't have AIDS parties with "gift givers" and "bug chasers" like the gay community does.  Go figure.

She's on everyday at 1:00 pm here....sometimes I even get to watch....didn't miss many episodes when I was growing up.

Same here about being banned, and why.  Though, some that know me say I suffer from Mad Cow now!

[Karin]

It's not about me, it's about the patient.

And that's it.  Simple enough.

Warpy once advised, on the pages of the DUmp, for gay guys to go ahead and lie on the paperwork.  Yep, straight as an arrow, that's me.  I have never forgiven her for this.

I regret having to look up gift givers and bug chasers to find out what you were referring to. Breakfast was better the first time around.

That has got to be one of the most sick twisted vile disgusting selfish things I have ever heard in my life.
As far as I'm concerned they can't drop dead fast enough. What good are they doing humanity anyway?
They are nothing but trouble.

Vanje, just in case you're lurking

Here are a couple of tidbits

Promiscuity is the factor that leads to health problems  and monetary costs cited below.  

Prior to the AIDS epidemic, a 1978 study found that 75 percent of white, gay males claimed to have had more than 100 lifetime male sex partners: 15 percent claimed 100-249 sex partners; 17 percent claimed 250-499; 15 percent claimed 500- 999; and 28 percent claimed more than 1,000 lifetime male sex partners. Levels of promiscuity subsequently declined, but some observers are concerned that promiscuity is again approaching the levels of the 1970s.
In more recent years, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control has reported an upswing in promiscuity, at least among young homosexual men in San Francisco. From 1994 to 1997, the percentage of homosexual men reporting multiple partners and unprotected anal sex rose from 23.6 percent to 33.3 percent, with the largest increase among men under 25.7 AIDS no longer seems to deter individuals from engaging in promiscuous gay sex.
Monogamy, meaning long-term sexual fidelity, is rare in GLB relationships, particularly among gay men. One study reported that 66 percent of gay couples reported sex outside the relationship within the first year, and nearly 90 percent if the relationship lasted five years.  

Gay author Gabriel Rotello, "Let me simply say that I have no moral objection to promiscuity�I enjoyed the '70's, I didn't think there was anything morally wrong with the lifestyle of the baths. I believe that for many people, promiscuity can be meaningful, liberating and fun."  http://www.narth.com/docs/whyreveal.html.  He also says,   "Gay liberation was founded . . . on a 'sexual brotherhood of promiscuity,' and any abandonment of that promiscuity would amount to a 'communal betrayal of gargantuan proportions. http://www.catholiceducation.org/articles/homosexuality/ho0075.html
Signorile, another well known homosexual advocating safe sex,  speaks of the "raunchy, impersonal atmosphere" of sex in public parks and bathrooms,  "There's nothing morally wrong with this--and I say that as someone who has certainly had my share of hot public sex, beginning when I was a teenager and well into my adulthood.�http://www.nogaymarriage.com/talkingpoints.html."
Bisexual website: � [T]he hottest campus flicker of the moment is rompy Threesome, the jingle of which probably sums up the idea behind the new way of viewing life best: "One girl, two boys, three possibilities� the next object of your admiration could just as well be a male as a female"   �The New Bi-standers� http://www.biwebsites.com/article1.html

Was it mad cow?  I'm banned too, because I had my firstborn at Weisbaden in the 80s, and lived there almost two months, but I was told it was because of TB issues in Europe/Germany.
