Wow, gays will be able to give blood! But seriously, why do only gays go through this? Is the heterosexual lifestyle more hygienic?
Quote:The F.D.A. has long discouraged men who have sex with men from donating blood. A complete prohibition was put in place in the 1980s, amid fears of H.I.V. transmission. In 2015, the agency allowed gay and bisexual men to donate if they had not had sexual contact with other men for the previous year.
The period was reduced to three months after severe blood shortages during the Covid-19 pandemic.
The new plan would require men who have sex with men to fill out a questionnaire about condom use and recent sexual activity. The idea, still under debate, would be to allow those with no new partners in the last three months to donate.

teachings of the Bible are so muddled and self-contradictory that it was possible for Christians to happily burn heretics alive for five long centuries. It was even possible for the most venerated patriarchs of the Church, like St. Augustine and St. Thomas Aquinas, to conclude that heretics should be tortured (Augustine) or killed outright (Aquinas). Martin Luther and John Calvin advocated the wholesale murder of heretics, apostates, Jews, and witches. - Sam Harris, "Letter To A Christian Nation"
