So I guess I hadn't known this was still a thing. Apparently if you are a gay male (not a gay female) you are banned for life from giving blood. But don't make the Red Cross the bad guys here. Apparently they want to ratify that law made by the FDA. They want to ammend it to include
sauce
So how do you feel about homosexual males being denied the ability to donate blood? I understand there are other criteria for exclusion, such as health etc. But do you think there is any merit to assume all male homosexuals have a higher propensity for hiv/aids then let's say..the rest of the sexually active population?
Please note that having an opinion that is not favorable to the gays will not have you burned at the stake. And I would like the participants to understand that different opinions on this subject does not make one a homophobe. Just putting that out before people get upity.
