Replies Simple2005 Posted at 9:14 pm on April 10, 2008 If you really cared about the people you were giving blood to, you won't worry about these trifles. They have many other criteria for blood donors as well. It's a precaution to protect people's lives, so fuck off with your little self-righteous battle. tenchi1084 Posted at 11:02 pm on April 8, 2008 Quote: from silverrose42 at 9:09 pm on April 8, 2008 That sucks...and honestly, you should've brought every sexual partner you've had in the past 12 months, and prove you don't have anything... haha, it'd just be one, and we only did stuff one time.  it was only a bj, and he said he had already been tested negative for anything.  I made damn well sure he was honest, even though he was my friend and I trusted his word anyways.  more like, for my assurance. he was straight, btw.  he just wanted me to be at least comfortable to do what I was comfortable with. silverrose42 Posted at 9:09 pm on April 8, 2008 That sucks...and honestly, you should've brought every sexual partner you've had in the past 12 months, and prove you don't have anything... carracer Posted at 8:36 pm on April 8, 2008 Quote: from hiddenfromlove91 at 8:26 pm on April 8, 2008 i think that it's stupid to regect people just because they're gay. they lead the same types of lives as straight people. people say there's higher chances of HIV from anal sex but straight people have anal sex too! I'm straight but i have a lot of close gay friends so i so see your point. i had to deal with one of my friends not being able to donate a few weeks ago for the same reason. sorry man. it's stupid society is pretty much rude. Why i agree to an extent, its not necessarily discriminating against homosexuals as much as it is trying to protect people from disease. The red cross reject alot of people. zElliez Posted at 8:28 pm on April 8, 2008 Yea that sucks. My brother is gay and he had that happen to him so a bunch of him and his gay friends went over and started making out in front of the place with shirts on that said deny this ass holes. twistedxangel Posted at 8:26 pm on April 8, 2008 Quote: from amazingness99 at 8:22 pm on April 8, 2008 they're not trying to discriminate or anything, it's just that there's a higher risk of HIV in homosexual people, especially men. yeppp. hiddenfromlove91 Posted at 8:26 pm on April 8, 2008 i think that it's stupid to regect people just because they're gay. they lead the same types of lives as straight people. people say there's higher chances of HIV from anal sex but straight people have anal sex too!

JAJABOB92 Posted at 8:23 pm on April 8, 2008 ok........ *cough ass hole cough cough BrokenBelief Posted at 8:23 pm on April 8, 2008 Did you not notice that heterosexual anal sex is nailed in exactly the same way? The risks of HIV are much higher with anal sex.  Know you're facts before you cry discrimination. froufroufrou Posted at 8:23 pm on April 8, 2008 well i think the resentment and rebellion will really help the gay-straight tensions.  I can only hope there are more people like you out there that are able to turn the other cheek. Amazingness99 Posted at 8:22 pm on April 8, 2008 they're not trying to discriminate or anything, it's just that there's a higher risk of HIV in homosexual people, especially men. (learned that in my bio class) i don't think they mean any harm. astro Posted at 8:22 pm on April 8, 2008 lol wow that sucks All 13 previous replies displayed.
