Gay people no longer allowed to give blood

[Niall!]

I just saw it on BBC...

I don't know what to think..

This could be old, I don't follow the news.

Well, isn't that just stupid. Anyone could lie and say there are straight to give blood, I would.

I just looked on BBC news, and there is nothing?

[jesus]

Meh

fine discuss it then

And I guess they could.

Why can't gay people give blood though? It's not like it's going to turn anyone else, or is going to be full of bad things likely to kill people. They are the same as a straight person just their sexuality is different.

This has been around for a while, but it's interesting to discuss It's a bit stupid really, you could just lie "/ If someone was openly gay, is their blood really any different?

Apparently there is an increased risk of aids in gay people...

My ****

It's if you've had gay sex I think; they prefer not to because it takes time to test your blood. But then any **** sex is bad for you, whatever gender.

Why would anyone lie though? If they're giving blood to help people... and their blood is infested with disease... why would they want to give it?

As you said, only if you've had sex.
Maybe they haven't.
