But... how will they reproduce?

[ken5050]

More importantly, how will they verify?

[hillary's_fat_a**]

How will will know? Look at your anus for torn, inflamed tissue?

[colorado tanker]

Makes sense to me. It's a group at high risk of having HIV.

[Always Right]

It is not like the gay liberals are prone to tell the truth, so it is kind of pointless.

[risk]

Awesome!

a	Includes persons with a diagnosis of AIDS, reported from the beginning of the epidemic through 2003. Cumulative total includes 1 person of unknown sex.
b	AIDS developed in 46 adults/adolescents and 3 children after they received blood that had tested negative for HIV antibodies. AIDS developed in 14 additional adults after they received tissue, organs, or artificial insemination from HIV-infected donors. Four of the 14 received tissue or organs from a donor who was negative for HIV antibody at the time of donation.
c	Includes 36 adults/adolescents who were exposed to HIV-infected blood, body fluids, or concentrated virus in health care, laboratory, or household settings, as supported by seroconversion, epidemiologic, and/or laboratory evidence. One person was infected after intentional inoculation with HIV-infected blood. For an additional 361 persons who acquired HIV infection perinatally, AIDS was diagnosed after age 13. These 361 persons are tabulated under the adult/adolescent, not the pediatric, transmission category.
d	Includes 5 children who were exposed to HIV-infected blood as supported by seroconversion, epidemiologic, and/or laboratory evidence: 1 child was infected after intentional inoculation with HIV-infected blood and 4 children were exposed to HIV-infected blood in a household setting. Of the 178 children, 23 had sexual contact with an adult with or at high risk for HIV infection.

It is likely to affect some lesbian couples who want a child and prefer to use a gay man's sperm for artificial insemination.

and they hope to gain, what?

[FormerACLUmember]

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

[agooga]

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?

[SquirrelKing]

[Fzob]

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.

[isom35]

why did the FDA wait till now to decide?

[JewishRighter]

OMG!!! What an outrageous violation of their constitutional right to donate sperm!!! We live in a nazi/hitler/police state under the BushHitler regime. Oh the humanity!!!! (sarcasm intended)

[thoughtomator]

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

[festus]

Next thing you know they won't let em make withdrawls from the sperm bank either......

[RightWingAtheist]

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?

[Tacis]

EXCEPT, if you're an illegal criminal Mexican wetback who snuck across the border in the dark of the night. Then, be sure to buy the fairy matricula card at the Mexican consulate. It is red, white, green and pink. With such a card, if they turn you down, it is racial profiling!

[xzins]

But they want gays in the military where they can give blood on the battlefield as part of the walking blood supply.

[LibertarianInExile]

Freeper Freepun' Ping!

This is a dangerous topic...I can just see men taking matters into their own hands over this...

[rimshot]

Gamete so many interesting people in the sperm donor crowd...although I'm sure a lot of them are your average jerkoffs, I bet most of them pull their own weight.
