Edit: As it happens I think fear of gay blood still outweighs desire for Irish blood.

Seriously? Huh. How 30 years ago.

And yet, here, in the US, where we're so progressive....

....no homosexual blood is accepted for any reason anywhere.

Yeah that is bullshit.

[Barrister]

Yeah that is bullshit.

A one time ever man-on-man sex act leading to a lifetime ban?  Yeah that is silly.

But some level of ban based on male homosexual sex does seem prudent.  I checked - apparently 70% of new HIV diagnosis were among gay and bisexual men and adolescents.

Where exactly you draw the line, I'm not quite sure.

That's not true. They changed it a few years back that you cannot have had sex for a year.

[Sheilbh]

Dang, didn't know that.

I'm seeing it's banned unless "abstinent for at least a year."

Oh okay. I think it's the same as in the UK then, or the UK might be 6 months - but was very recently a total ban, I think it only changed here in the last couple of years

[garbon]

And that's now down to three months as FDA lowered rules today.

Oh man, this is what got the Dorsey account banned. This topic came up and I started posting those statistics, and Martinus temp banned me. So I kept posting them as soon as I came back and getting temp banned. Finally I realized I was effectively permanently banned and went out with a bang.

[Eddie Teach]

And now you're here and he's permanently banned. Funny how life works.

[Valmy]

I can only imagine what kind of creative analogies Marty would be making for the current situation.

[mongers]

A pity really, as we could do with Marty's 'input' during this crisis.

We are all simps and cucks and he would tackle the Coronavirus and save us all.

Speaking of which, what's the alt-right take on the pandemic? Soros made it? Gleeful hardons at impending societal collapse?

Good to know. Still seems excessive, but I don't know the science behind it (assuming there's science behind it).

[DGuller]

The science is that the risk of HIV for men having sex with men is astronomically higher than average.  Humans may have become more enlightened over the years, but HIV has not kept up.
