I am not gay but I will not donate to them out of protest against the discrimination against homosexuals. End the discrimination! Any blood donation from any individual could have an STD or other disease. Every donation of blood should be tested for disease regardless of the donor.

Also, given the fact that people who engage in unprotected "straight" sex are not excluded from donating, this is even more problematic. This is fundamentally an issue of homophobia that arose from the early days of the AIDS pandemic that the CRC continues to perpetuate!!

Anyone can get AIDS.

I would like to hear their thoughts on this.

]]> Thu, 12 Apr 2007 06:58:18 UTC 1561109 https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/1561060?utm_medium=rss I just went to donate blood today and was similarly refused. Let's be honest, anyone can get AIDS no matter your sexuality, so maybe CBS should deny all people to donate blood based on their criteria... otherwise it is simply discrimination and in this day and age a complete atrocity.

If I was going to die unless I receieved a blood transfusion, I certainly would not care where the blood came from. I think it makes sense to test the blood to make sure that it is clean, but to out right refuse it is absolutely ridiculous when so many people need blood everyday, not too mention the fact that the restrictions are for males only when females have anal sex with males just the same.

I am outraged that I am prohibited from donating blood for the sole reason that I love a bisexual man. To deny me the right to particpate in this important service goes against so many laws, as well as common sense.

My ex was refused to donate blood for circumstances that had nothing to do if his blood was good or not. That's just wrong.
