You're grasping at straws stating homosexuals shouldn't serve because of some stat about a higher health risk is desperate and disgusting, PO.

There's no period about what you said. Period.

You want to talk about health risks and "moral conduct" then let's go there... just be honest, this isn't your chief argument. It's probably #15 on the 100 Reasons Gay People Shouldn't Serve tract.

Health is an issue

You do realize the Red Cross is bigoted when they don't take blood donors that have recent tattoos or gay?

BEIJING — A court in Beijing has thwarted attempts by a Chinese man to sue a Red Cross centre in the capital after his blood donation was turned down because he was gay, state media reported Thursday.

The man, an editor identified by his pen name Wang Zizheng, filed the lawsuit last month at a court in Haidian in northwest Beijing, in what state media said was the first such case in China.

But according to the state-run Beijing Times, an official at the court told Wang on Wednesday that his case had been rejected, without giving him a reason.

When he went to donate blood in early June, Wang said he was gay in a health questionnaire and was then told he could not be a donor, previous reports said.

According to regulations issued by China's health ministry and published by the national blood transfusion association, "homosexuals and those with multiple sex partners" cannot be donors

Same in america.

I have the constitutional right to not accept a blood transfusion from a gay donor.

My College roomate was a lab tech before applying for Med school. They do bacterial tests on different body orrifices and know what dirty sex is.
