Being gay and having safe homosexual sex does not put you at any more risk of HIV than being straight and having safe heterosexual sex.

Get off your soapbox and enter the reality world. Heterosexuals DO NOT want blood from homosexuals. I say again, DO NOT want blood from homosexuals. You may start your own blood bank but we don't want the heterosexual blood banks contamintated.

You may start your own blood bank...

I'm willing to bet homosexuals would be too afraid to get blood from their own blood bank. And I'm sure the writer here wouldn't want pure homosexual blood either.

My problem is with the concept of "safe sex." I don't believe that such a thing exists. Condoms may minimize the danger somewhat, but it's no guarantee of safety. Heterosexual std's are much easier to deal with than AIDS.

I couldn't have said it any better. No frickin' way. I'm sick now after reading this. Ya know, I never gave it any thought of ever needing donated blood due to an accident, medical emergency, or whatever. But I sure hope like hell should I ever need some that that stuff is clearly marked "Made in Hetero USA"

Ok, as long as only gay people are given gay men's blood.

btw my post at 63 - I didn't realize you were quoting. Glad to see you didn't REALLY agree with that. :-)
