African blood bank

Yow. KUOW says that African blood banks are denying gay men access to the right to donate to their supplies of HIV negative blood.

Ick.

From comments by qijm:

If a discriminatory policy doesn't result in a safer blood supply, then it is clearly based on either irrational prejudice or historical inertia, and I believe of course that it should be eliminated. If it does, however, then it's necessary to decide whether the increased safety (of a possibly decreased supply) is worth it.
