The fact that gay men are prohibited from donating blood - regardless of their sexual activity, safe-sex practices or HIV status - has rankled the gay community for years.

TS! they want to put the blood supply at risk just to ease theri feelings?

The American Red Cross and other national organizations that regularly run blood drives are also pushing the FDA to revise the policy

News to me as I just donated last week and the form specifically asked if I'd had sex with a man in the last twenty years.

Elementary, my dear Watson: the object is to get tainted blood into the system so that many non-homosexuals become infected. This would tend to take the onus off gay men as the prime candidates for AIDS, and would perhaps lead to even more money for AIDS treatment and research since AIDS was now a general epidemic.

Why not? The homosexuals wiped out an entire generation of hemophiliacs this way already, so maybe they think they are secretly trying to improve the gene pool.
