Gay men push to end 30-year blood donation ban
The Washington Times ^ | December 1, 2013 | Cheryl Wetzstein

Posted on 12/02/2013 7:39:21 AM PST by Gritty

A push by activists to ease the 30-year-old blanket ban on blood donations from gay and bisexual men faces a key test this week as a federal panel hears results of the latest research. The findings will be released amid growing pressure from politicians and advocates, including college students, to change the policy.

Critics say the ban is a hangover from the early, fear-filled days of AIDS, stigmatizing gay men and ignoring advances in treatment and detection in the decades since...

the solution is to list other groups which are prohibited by donating.

This is not science, this is feel good death politics.

I’m sure there are plenty of angry sociopathic queers who have just that in mind.

“fear-filled days of AIDS, stigmatizing gay men and ignoring advances in treatment”

So the perverts don’t think AIDS is a big deal? Hey, but there are ‘advances in treatment’ if you happen to get it from our blood that we demand you use!

SICKOS, don’t care about anyone but themselves and their perverted lifestyle. Screw the kids, the sick and the elderly. The sickos come first! You take our blood because we are special & equal even if it kills you!

They test all blood donations for HIV and AIDs regardless. Gay’s aren’t the only ones who are banned from giving blood. People who have had sex with a prostitute are also banned.

WHY is it so important that they donate?

Donating is not important at all.

What's important is not being banned, normalizing the behavior, removing the stigma, and feeling good about fudgepacking.

Exactly how mentally deficient would a person have to be to figure out that the AIDs Hoax was the the largest hoax perpetrated on the world's wallet ever?

Look around you. Do you see heterosexual men and women being diagnosed with AIDs? Try to recall that AIDs is actually an acronym for 30 separate disease states which is why they refer to it as a syndrome. The HIV test itself is nothing more than an antibody test, which, if it was positive, would only indicate some prior exposure to a harmless, ubiquitous extremely small 7 kilo base RETROVIRUS.

Homosexuals (read Gay men only) are subject to massive doses of poppers, anti-fungals, antibiotics, antivirals and then, when diagnosed as HIV positive are subjected to toxic chain-terminators and biologicals that eventually damage their already damaged immune systems that they succumb to minor infections.

Allowing these sexual perverts to donate to the blood supply will actually end up spreading Hep B and C into the blood banks. What a pathetic medical establishment we have. Of course after ObamaScare, there won't be any doctors so calm yourselves!

Advances in detection and treatment is not a cure. In fact according to CDC it’s still an epidemic that does not get reported.

Let’s see: The Center for Disease Control, a decidedly leftist organization, last month came out with the stats that 97-98% of the AIDS cases come from homosexual males . . . their figures . . . not mine.

All we need is for these perverts to further contaminate our blood supply. Is there any end to their disgusting demands?

Why are they so anxious to donate their tainted blood? So everyone else can suffer too?

Why are they so anxious to donate blood - can it be that they want to infect people with HIV?

Yes

Well, why was it so important for these sodomites to get married when they have no desire whatsoever to find a mate of the opposite sex to get married to? If they can stick their finger in our eye, they'll do it. And the homosexual in our White House (and probably half his staff) will support it.

Add this to Obama”care” and we continue our reckless mad dash toward third-world medical care where medical treatment poses as much, if not greater, risk to the ill.

It’s not fair that they are only allowed to infect other faggots.

It’s a dogma of liberalism. Everybody is the same even if they’re different. Normal people don’t deserve to be free of aids. They deserve to get it like everybody else.

That’s why I can say confidently that liberalism is a mental illness.

Why end the ban?

You don’t even have to tell anyone you are gay when you donate blood

Indeed.

The agenda began when the homosexuals started to convince normal people that they had just as much risk of contracting AIDS if they banged Suzy at the local bar.

Homosexuals wanted to convince everyone that normal sex between a man and a woman was just as risky as homosexual sex.

Once they convinced everyone they were ALL at risk, then the money would flow for AIDS research. . .

I am all for this as long as the gay men are certified virgins....

That should narrow it down signifigantly...

I am thinking unicorn blood would be easier to get and I hear it has amazing healing properties...
