Maybe if homosexual men weren't the highest demographic of aids cases, the Red Cross would be more lenient on their policies. I was the ***** kid in high school who couldn't give blood, and although it hurt, it made perfect sense. Live is all about choices. If you put yourself at risk for a deadly disease, your blood is not wanted. Maybe if everyone was asked to be tested first, then policy could be changed for gay men. Good luck with the fight, but this is not homophobia, it's general public safety, whose standards need to be heightened anyway.
Wow that was powerful - prejudice is alive and kicking

Hey come check out this video - this is a story about a young woman coming out in SF

well then they should test the blood as they do for ALL the blood. and then they should also say NO BLACK BLOOD as the aids crisis is happening in the community of color and NO SPANISH BLOOD and no WOMENS blood either in general ah so what do we have left. White male Blood HOORAY lets rewind back to that
