Was approached by an organ donor rep. So they dont want my dirty gay blood, but theyll take my fucking organs. If you dont know, gay men are not allowed to give blood because of a risk of HIV, which is both out-dated and extremely offensive. I was told this was supposed to be changing, but no change yet as per there website today.

I hear that if you get a gay organ in you, it makes you gay. But not if you are giving the organ. Or something.

I may have misunderstood the assignment.

On a lighter note, a remarkable piece of idiocy - my prejudices suggest you are much more likely to get diseased blood from the avowedly straight trailer trash that live just round the corner from me who spend their condom money on chips than you are from one of those nicely spoken shiftlifter types.

"I may have misunderstood the assignment."

Was it a practical assignment?

The blood donation criteria is really strict and somewhat extreme. I was under the impression that donations were tested for infections before going into the bank regardless, and that HIV was one of the tests
