“The FDA’s lifetime blood donor deferral affecting gay men violates our non-discrimination policy,”
Yeah, and non-discrimination policies that affect the safety of the blood supply violate common sense.
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.
Only gay men with AIDS.
I didn’t take it personally when Mad Cow considerations kept me being able to donate. Sheesh.
Yes, let’s just taint the entire blood supply to show our tolerance for those who frolic in feces
Thank you FDA!
Disgusting. Once again, our elected officials prefer to kill thousands of innocent people just so that they can have money from the most powerful special interest group in this country
Banning homosexuals from donating blood lengthens the time it’s going to take until we are all equally infected w/ AIDS.
From “Team America, World Police”
Everyone has AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS!
AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS!
Everyone has AIDS!
And so this is the end of our story
And everyone is dead from AIDS
It took from me my best friend
My only true pal
My only bright star (he died of AIDS)
Well I’m gonna march on Washington
Lead the fight and charge the brigades
There’s a hero inside of all of us
I’ll make them see everyone has AIDS
My father (AIDS!)
My sister (AIDS!)
My uncle and my cousin and her best friend (AIDS AIDS AIDS!)
The gays and the straights
And the white and the spades
Everyone has AIDS!
My grandma and my dog ‘ol blue (AIDS AIDS AIDS)
The pope has got it and so do you (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
C’mon everybody we got quilting to do (AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS AIDS)
We gotta break down these baricades, everyone has
AIDS! x 20
Apparently San Jose State offers a course on how to get stupidier by the minute.
Ask the Univ president if he or one his family members needed a blood transfusion, would he accept from a gay donor?
I still call it GRID.
Hey, what about those who have spent significant time in the United Kingdom in the past 5 years? They are “victims” too.
I know Kassing will want to demonstrate his PC non-discrimination attitude by getting a transfusion from the first gay guy who walks in to donate.
Put your life where your mouth is, bro.
Many people died after having an operation because of tainted blood. I guess they are too young to remember these horrors and thus want to repeat them.
This is nothing new. Moving from “tolerance” to societal “approval” of homosexual behavior requires that homosexual activities be exempted from normal public health safeguards.

The AIDS EPIDEMIC IS JUST BEGINNING
By David Horowitz
FrontPageMagazine.com | Monday, April 14, 1997
Fourteen years and more than 300,000 deaths ago, Peter Collier and I wrote a story for California magazine about the AIDS epidemic in San Francisco. At the time the virus had not yet been isolated and there had been only 3,000 fatalities nationally. But it was already clear to the medical community that the culprit was a retrovirus, that there might never be a cure, that AIDS cases among gays were doubling every six months and that if the behavioral patterns of gays and drug users did not change, there would be more than 300,000 people dead by 1997.
In normal circumstances, the minimal public health response to an impending epidemic would have been to identify the carriers of the disease by mandatory testing of at-risk communities, closing off “hot zones” of the epidemic, such as gay bathhouses and drug “shooting galleries,” contact-tracing of those who had been in touch with the already sick and honest public education about the dangers of promiscuous anal sex among gays and needle-sharing among drug addicts.
None of these measures, Collier and I found, was acceptable to a powerful lobby of gay activists that labeled them as “discriminatory” and “homophobic” and made clear to any public health official who advocated them that they would be doing so at the risk of their careers. As a result, none of the standard public health measures were consistently deployed. Instead, a series of politically correct ideas and “community-approved” policies became the only measures feasible for political leaders to advocate, for the media to promote and for public health agencies to pursue.

I hope these ash holes either have the opportunity to get AIDS from a transfusion or they have the opportunity to die due to a shortage of blood.
Then we’ll see what they think about diversity in blood.
Aren’t people who’ve gotten tattoos in the last year or two also banned from giving blood? (among several other groups?) Why isn’t SJSU standing up for them?
Someone should send President Kassing a thank you note for keeping gay blood out of the system.
