Did you know about that? I didn’t! I saw a tv show a couple of days ago showing two guys, with hidden cameras, going to the blood bank to give blood. They filled out the form and highly said things like “Can my boyfriend sit here and wait?” and such. When they were done with the forms a nurse took one of them in to a room and closed the door, there she said to the guy that gay guys aren’t allowed to donate blood because of their “lifestyle” but they are “welcome to take a sandwich and something to drink” before they leave.

I was like “What?!” When they got back to the studio the doctor said it was true. However, the nurse should have explained better WHY he couldn’t donate blood. The reason was because there are so many diseases going around the gay culture. But don’t they check every person’s blood before it’s used? I mean you don’t have to be gay to to get those kind of diseases.

So I don’t get it. If anyone can give me a better explanation, please share!

Edit: Ugly comments will be deleted. If you can’t accept that people are different, get over it!

   That’s just kind of stupid. I have seen many (not to be mean, but) high school future prostitutes donate blood for cash and such, and they were a helluva lot more likely to have any STDs and such.
