        this narrative the media is pushing is so shallow. Gays can't donate blood for medical safety not prejudice.

        What is medically unsafe about a gay person donating blood? They are no more prone to HIV than a straight person. IGNORANT

        the #irony "Gay and bisexual men are more severely affected by HIV" http://www.cdc.gov/hiv/group/msm/  Looks like you're ignorant.

        because Ronald Reagan invented HIV to kill off black people in the 80s but then realized no 1 would buy crack from CIA

        how so? Because it's a fact and that's why they can't donate blood? I didn't write the rules. Just stating then

        HIV is a problem in all communities. Blood is tested for disease before it actually used in a transfusion.

        EXACTLY. that's why you can't just show up to donate blood. Which is what the surrounding gay community wanted to do to help. Ass

        You know the majority of homosexuals don't have HIV right? Any argument you make for a ban can be applied to any group
