"The ban on gay men donating blood is being lifted because
there is interest in spreading HIV to everyone."

Do you really believe that gays are trying to spread HIV to everyone on purpose? Or is it the government that has that intent?

According to the article, 7% of gay men are already giving blood despite the ban. "Misery loves company"--they apparently want HIV to become prevalent among heterosexuals too. If they do adopt this rule, there are bound to be many donors who lie about no sexual activity for 10 years.

Maybe a reasonable compromise would be to allow them to give blood, but then throw the blood away. Like (one hopes) was done when Yasser Arafat was photographed giving blood.

You:”The ban on gay men donating blood is being lifted because there is interest in spreading HIV to everyone.”

Me: So called do-gooders and anti-discriminatorians have always given me this sense that they would have something like you wrote done in order to achieve social justice and what they see as full complete equality among individuals or should I say among people as they tend to see humanity as one large mass rather then as separate individuals. So in their world view, if one group has a deadly illness, everyone should be inflicted with that illness for the sake of equality and social justice. Only thing that stops them is that those who are mentally and physically healthy aren’t lining up to help them fulfill their insane and immoral goals. Really I think there are people who, if they were in control, would mandate that everyone has to be subjected to the same perversions, cruelties, illness and such of the world,that some people are subjected to, in order for everyone to be equal. They would prefer this, rather than to accept that no one is the same, everyone is different and what bad thing that happens to one should not happen to everyone and nor should what good thing that happens happen to everyone. aaaaah! I can’t even think of this anymore it’s insanity to think everyone belongs in the same shoe....
