Update: Gay Men Blood Donors

The FDA is fighting the good fight to protect our blood supply. Liberal do-gooders like John Kerry want the ban on gay men donors lifted citing "fairness." The FDA says it has nothing to do with fair, but rather with safety. Men who have had sex with other men since 1977 have an HIV infection rate 60 times higher than that of the general population and 800 times higher than first-time blood donors.

If John Kerry needs a transfusion, and he can pick between taking the blood donated by a gay man and blood donated by a heterosexual man, which do you think he'll pick? Think he'd be real concerned about "fairness" then?
