Blood Transfusion - By Homosexuals

would you accept one from a korean?  a chilian?  someone who is a dwarf?  old? fat? bald?  what is the differnce.  blood is blood.  homosexuality is NOT contagious.  grow the f*ck up will you.  i love how people here gripe about how they were/are discriminated agaist but are the first to discriminate agaist others

@topic
In UK ( I suppose poster is referring to the information from UK media) certain donors are excluded from donor pool because of their life style.  I am afraid discrimination or non-discrimination, you are not supposed to put others life at risk.  "Men who ever had sex with another man" cannot donate blood.

It is the guidelines which aim to reduce the risk of blood recipients.  It's not your choice who the donor should be.  Even for directed donation for your relatives, you are expected to go through donor questionnaires the same as voluntary donors.

^^^It's not only man who had sex with man (not necessarily gays, and don't need to disclose sexual orientation or preference), who ever used intravenous drugs even if once, and many other things in the donor questonnaires.  Potiential donors are asked to read the questionnaires and they can leave the donation centre with no need to give the reasons if they think they ever had high risk behaviour.
