Today I’ve got this Issue on my Nationstates (nationstates.net)
Blood Type: Gay Positive
Yuri Kamen, a young man prevented from donating much-needed blood because of his sexuality, has been on a media blitz after popular queer magazine Out! picked up and disseminated the story. With the newscycle being dominated by the topic, your inundated press office has requested you come to a decision on what to do. In that vein, you’ve called all parties to the case to your office.
I’ve encountered with 5 choice
1. “I know this may seem discriminatory, but it’s for very good reasons,” begins hematologist Dr. Clint Acula. “Statistics show that men who have sex with men have a much higher chance of being infected with diseases which can’t be immediately detected or treated — like VODAIS, for example. Allowing them to donate blood would pose the risk of infecting innocent people who need blood transfusions. We must protect the blood supply and forbid men who have sex with men from donating blood. As a scientist, I absolutely insist.”
2. “This is simply outrageous!” Kamen stresses loudly. “Banning gay people from donating blood because of some outdated statistics is just an excuse to keep a homophobic hangover from another time. The vast majority of people who donate blood, gay or straight, are free from infection. These doctors are worried about infection but straight people can have infected blood too! VODAIS is no longer a gay disease. You need the blood; we have the blood. Instead of banning certain groups from donating, how about you spend more money on developing more advanced methods of detecting infected blood quicker?”
3. “As always, no-one sees the obvious solution,” says Ingrid Wynne, your Health Minister. “We should allow gay men to donate blood but, to keep the risk of infection low, mandate that gay men who want to donate blood go through monthly medical checks to make sure they’re ‘clean’. That way no-one gets infected, while gay people can donate. Everyone is happy!”
4. “But the LORD sayeth YOU SHALLETH NOT prick the finger of THE GAYETH because you might becometh GAYETH yourself. Eth!” shouts Sean Egan, representative of some faith groups within Nation’s name. “The gays want to donate blood to infect everyone with their gayness! Don’t let that happen, Leader. Not only do we need to ban gays from giving blood, we need to ban them, PERIOD! For the people. DO ITETH in the name of the LORDETH!”
