And the obvious action of teaching the dangers of gay sex is out of the question.

AIDS has been transmitted by sperm to mothers and children. This is basic public health procedure, which of course enrages the evil queer mafia.

yea but HIV is transmitted through blood not sperm

Currently, 15 women are known to have been infected with HIV via artificial insemination using sperm from anonymous donors: one in Germany,(58) two in Italy,(59) four in Australia,(60) two in Canada,(61) and six in the United States.(61,62) All but one of these cases of insemination-related infection occurred before the availability of HIV antibody testing. Another woman was infected after insemination with processed sperm from her HIV-seropositive hemophiliac husband.(63) These reports demonstrate that HIV transmission can occur after the use of fresh, cryopreserved, or processed sperm. Both intrauterine insemination and cervical insemination can result in HIV transmission.

I guess my question is, why would a gay man feel the need to "spread his seed." Isn't that an urge of the hetero male?

You're welcome. Having been through the infertility wringer, I know a lot more about this stuff than I ever wanted to.

While I'm not an advocate that homosexuality is genetic, in this case it might be prudent to ban them from polluting the gene pool further, just in case I'm wrong.

I don't think you can gauge any of the urges of gay males by noral hetero standards.

They have been known to lie in the past to private organizations with the very same restriction in order to propogate themselves.

Sure you can... they are the same as any other type of sex offender - nearly unredeemable even in the best of circumstances, human beings who have enslaved themselves to their own sexual urges, regardless of the results.

Why don't they just make tests for AIDS and VD mandatory before donating?

BTW, anyone got any pics from that Beavis and Butthead episode where they go to the sperm bank?
