| EU court OKs lifetime ban on gay male blood donors |
| 2015-05-01 |
| [Gates if Vienna] The European Union Court of Justice ruled Wednesday that member nations may ban gay men from ever donating blood, under some conditions. "Permanently excluding men who have had homosexual relations from donating blood may...be justified," the Court wrote. Lets imagine a USA court handing down such a verdict. |

| #3 stupid really, if they are going to do that they need to ban black men from African nations - any african immigrants (I'm not talking about black americans) Aids rates in Botswana's straight people are way higher than what they are for homosexuals. In Australia the Aids rate ticked up just from an increase in African immigration - even if they didn't have it when they first migrated they'd get it going home for visits and bring it back with them. |

| #1 Part of that is a self inflicted wound. Back in the early '80s most of Western Civ (Euro and N.America) could have blood tested and isolated carriers (as in many other contagious diseases). However, the 'community' knowing that the results would heavily fall on them, obstructed and blocked such an effort making it a 'civil rights' rather than 'life and death' issue. They, of course, condemned a lot of their own to death as a consequence. Reap what you sowed. |
