Effeminate man rejected from donating blood

[JollyRoger]

Sounds like you're more concerned with social justice than the health and well-being of those receiving donated blood.

Why should we care about mere donees? They can buy blood if the want warranties on the purity.

Let the free market sort it out.

And why shouldn't we care about social justice?

Not wanting blood from a guy who is attracted to men, but has never slept with one, is frankly an asinine statement.

There is nothing wrong with gay blood. The worldwide rates for AIDS are much more balanced then the western rates, anyway.

Yes but how can we ensure that a gay man has not had sex, and how can we prevent hordes of sexually active gay man claiming they are virgins?

Given that hospitals carry out the most stringent tests possible as it is and that most entitled people take justice for granted, then yes, I am most certainly more concerned with social justice.

As for your other comment, how are you going to stop a seemingly healthy heterosexual from donating blood without making sure that they've never had gay sex or contracted blood diseases?

 

[GamezRule]

Maybe we just limit blood donors to people who wear chastity belts 24/7?

 

[Neonanocyborgasm]

Uhm. No, your're directly wrong about donors being asked that question in practice. They absolutely are. I give blood often, and I get asked that question each and every time.

Probably depends on who is drawing the blood.

I've never seen or heard of anyone rejected from a donation, at all, on the spot. It's probably a rare event.

And no, its not bigoted in consideration of the statistics surrounding HIV and the facts given on the FDA website. Bigotry has nothing to do with keeping the blood supply clean, and as I have stated there are also other disqualifiers from donating blood that have nothing to do with HIV or gay men in particular.

Yes, we are well aware of the disqualifications, and that you know them.

So, amongst all the pointless quote-bashing, do you actually support people from being forbidden to give blood due to their behaviour alone?

Pointless policy. People can and do lie about their private affairs.

Is Michelle Bachman disappointed her husband was prevented from giving blood?

Was waiting for this one.

 

[GamezRule]

Good point. Perhaps we just empty out Australia, and send all they gays there, to form Gayistan?

Until someone here can name a medical test that can accurately prove with the slightest error margin whether or not a gay man has had intercourse in his life, I will stick to my original claim that medical operations will not accept gay blood simply because the risk for lawsuits and health complications skyrocket.That being said, those who participate in unnatural sex have and will continue to be more prone to AIDS.

 

[Arakhor]

Is it really necessary to use the phrase "unnatural sex"?

When was the last time a man impregnated a man? When was the last time a women impregnated a women? God created Adam so that he can fertilize an egg of Eve.

 

[Arakhor]

Well, thank you for your opinion, but I thought we were thought we talking about possible blood diseases, not about creationism.

Is there a medical test that can accurately prove whether or not you have had sex with another man?

When was the last time a man impregnated a man? When was the last time a women impregnated a women? God created Adam so that he can fertilize an egg of Eve.

Was Eve created first? I thought that God had exclusive dibs on Adam in the beginning.

I'm talking about basic human anatomy, not my opinion.

What does precreation have to do with purity of blood?

 

[civ_king]

No, obviously straight people are shining paragons, free of disease.

AFAIK Blood is tested in batches, if one sample has HIV/AIDS it contaminates them all making them all need to be thrown out. Gay men are 44 times as likely to have HIV/AIDS as the average person.

Cause and effect. Unnatural sex = more prone to STDs.

 

[civ_king]

Cause and effect. Unnatural sex = more prone to STDs.

Anal sex in particular which both heteros and homos can do

I didn't realise Lesbians were more likely to catch aids than Heterosexual couples! Here's a hint: They aren't.

And that simply isn't true.

Civ_king: Any citations for that wild number?
