The Blood Ban

According to the Family Research Council, in 2010, gay and bisexual men accounted for 63% of estimated new HIV infections in the United States and 78% of infections among all newly infected men. The United States Food and Drug Administration has a policy of holding a ban on blood donations from those who engage in risky sexual behavior. This is an important ban. The FDA created this policy, not out of hatred or prejudice but for reasons of safe medical practice, the health of many and common sense. If politically active homosexual groups continue to attempt to overturn the ban......and succeed, they will put millions of Americans at a greater risk of infection. How insane is this? This has nothing to do with "tolerance," it has to do with saving lives.
