On Gays Donating Blood

Some backward countries ruled by fear and ignorance still do not allow gay people to donate blood.

This ban has just been lifted in England, which may help remind US decision-makers that history will judge them as the ignorant "Men of their time" if they don't change the policy over here. Meanwhile, Free Republic members begin their own contribution to this important discussion about health, benevolence, fraternity, the right to contribute to society while expecting nothing in return, change, civil rights, and so on.

Let the intelligent discussion begin!

Only an idiot would accept blood from a homosexual.

As for disease-riddled, sexually-disoriented, sodomizing perverts...fine, let’em donate. Just be sure to dump their poisoned blood in the toilet, lest it infect the rest of us with a terminal illness.

Their blood is an abomination. It's defiled with all kinds of infections and diseases. It's like donating sewer sludge.

The advocates of doing this with the blood supply are nothing less than murderers.

Well, I guess that conversation is over.
