Better question. If blood from a gay guy was all that was available, would you take it?Here's a rhetorical question. If you needed a blood transfusion to save your life and you can choose between gay guys blood or a straight guys blood which would you choose?

Nice job so far everyone for not turning this thread to the dark side. Good points from both sides of the fence.

The first time I was told I couldn't donate was because of a tattoo. You can't donate within a year. The next time I donated I was told "you should always donate" but to use the blood for testing sticker if you think it's unsafe. Because of where I've been my blood is deemed bad for now.treybo130 wrote:
Encouraging people to lie? Seriously? 😒For uppity gays that feel it's unfair I can't donate blood either. As a straight service member that proudly serves amongst homosexuals I'm denied based on WHERE I've been and not WHO I've been with. You can lie during the initial interview and still donate. THEN you place the "use my blood for testing" sticker on the bag. If you KNOW you're clean (NOT THINK) then donate.

If I need it to save my life I'll take blood with many of the bad things in it. Given that I wouldn't have that option, but I do have the hypothetical homo/het blood choice, I'd go gay. My reasoning is that a gay donor would likely have given a lot more thought to sti risk factors and based their decision to donate on that LONG before they were faced with a questionnaire.
Giving blood isn't fun times. I think most if not all donors give so they can help, and would be horrified to discover their blood had harmed someone. -

To me it wouldn't matter who the donor was. I'd presume the proper screening was done on the blood given, and that it was clean.Here's a rhetorical question.

If given the choice between tainted blood and bleeding out I'd choose the tainted blood. I'd rather live with a manageable disease than die a certain death within a few minutes or hours. I enjoy life to much to simply give up. -

I'll take HIV over death. In the developed world, it has transitioned from a death sentence into a manageable (but chronic) disease. I have a family friend who has had it for over twenty years, was full blown at one point, and now has an undetectable viral load.
Brizz, it's orientation, not preference. Preferring something implies choice. I didn't choose to be straight, I just am. There are some who could theoretically choose what team they play for (bi, heteroflexible, probably several other orientation groups who would get butthurt by exclusion so if anyone like that is reading this, I'm sorry), but it's pretty hard to choose who you fall in love with.
Sorry to come down on you over such a seemingly small thing, but words matter. It's harder to hate someone for something they can't help. -
Either way, who cares? We should welcome those that want to donate blood or organs, irregardless of their sexual orientarion, economic background, or religious beliefs. When it comes down to it we are all human beings, and we all want to be loved and accepted by those who matter to us.
Yes, donors should be checked for transmitted diseases. And yes, blood should be screened. But no, we should not exclude certain groups of the population based on orientarion, creed, ethnic origin, or eye color. Goodness, we have advanced to the point where we know that these things aren't viral, right?
Fifty years from now people will be laughing at us for even discussing this... -

I'm sure vampires don't discriminate blood on wether it's gay or not, so we shouldn't either.
