So you just ignored my post and restated the false assertion anyway. That's lovely. READ THE POSTS IN THE THREAD BEFORE YOU REPOST FALSE INFORMATION THAT HAS ALREADY BEEN REFUTED WITH SCHOLARLY DATA.
"The CDC's 'Diagnoses of HIV Infection, by Transmission Category expanded' clearly shows that the 'Estimated Number of Diagnoses of HIV Infection' for the homosexual subpopulation is much greater than the heterosexual subpopulation.
For example, in 2011 JUST the male component of the homosexual subpopulation had 30,573 new HIV infections while the entire heterosexual population (including all heterosexual IV drug users) + homosexual women combined had only 13,402 new HIV infections."
You're simply repeating false assertions that have all been refuted. And the blood isn't tested once. Each blood donation is tested twice and recipients still get infected.
No thank you for repeated false assertions that have already been refuted because you're too lazy to read the information in the discussion your posting in.

No. A wolf pack came in under the false pretense of being Christians and began deliberately distorting God's Word and insinuating that the God of the Bible was morally blighted (e.g. blasphemy) as they pushed the homosexual agenda with all their might literally lying in most every post.
When it was uncovered, due to one of them inadvertently admitting it and then trying to cover it up so they could continue what they were doing, they were banned.
Paul speaking in 2 Corinthians 11:13-15: "For such men are false apostles, deceitful workmen, disguising themselves as apostles of Christ. And no wonder, for even Satan disguises himself as an angel of light. So it is no surprise if his servants, also, disguise themselves as servants of righteousness. Their end will correspond to their deeds."
Jesus speaking in John 8:44, "You are of your father the devil, and you want to do the desires of your father..."
Both Jesus and the apostle Paul often had harsh words for this type. You can defend them if you like and pick up where they left off, but I don't recommend it. They are under conviction until such time as they repent (if ever) and if you align with them: so are you.

But it does mean that subjecting young people to a very small population of blood donors that are heavily infected with deadly diseases could kill some of them long before they would otherwise die of natural causes if they hadn't been subjected to that 1.7% or so of the population.
This may sound like a marvelous idea to you but I find it reprehensible and a form of murder.

UK plasma supplier sold to US private equity firm Bain Capital
'Is there no limit to what this Government will privatise?': UK plasma supplier sold to US private equity firm Bain Capital
Sell-off puts blood supply at risk, warns Lord Owen
The Government was tonight accused of gambling with the UK’s blood supply by selling the state-owned NHS plasma supplier to a US private equity firm.
The Department of Health overlooked several healthcare or pharmaceutical firms and at least one blood plasma specialist before choosing to sell an 80 per cent stake in Plasma Resources UK to Bain Capital, the company co-founded by Republican presidential candidate Mitt Romney, in a £230m deal. The Government will retain a 20 per stake and a share of potential future profits.

A thirty something year old man just died at our church from contracting AIDS through a blood transfusion a number of years ago. That's right. It went right through both blood test checks and he got it anyways. He didn't even know he had it and checked into the emergency room with terrible pneumonia and died a horrible painful death two weeks later. He leaves behind a pregnant wife.
You heard that right. Do you think the mother and the baby are HIV positive too?
Now a brother in Christ is dead and his family fatherless and possibly infected.
Thanks for nothing.

You're assuming all anal sex is gay.
Why is it homosexuals can't donate blood? Shouldn't we, instead, prevent people who have anal sex from donating blood?
Second, you're missing some VERY crucial information. What percentage of homosexuals who haven't been imprisoned are infected with HIV or AIDs? Even if you argue 90% of infections stem from gay sex, it doesn't mean much if the number of homosexuals with infections are incredibly low. You're missing too much data.
Lastly, you are aware that blood samples are always tested, right? So it really doesn't matter who donates - as long as the blood is tested.

Umm Sorry but the real problem is the HIV virus may not show positive for up to six months.
[h=1]HIV Test Window Periods[/h]
There's a period of time after a person is infected during which they won't test positive. This is called the “hiv window period.”
The window period can be from 9 days to 3-6 months, depending on the person's body and on the HIV-test that's used. During that time, you can test HIV negative even though you're HIV infected. You can still catch HIV from someone who is in the window period. In fact, there is evidence that a person in the window period is more likely to pass the virus on.

No and it shouldn't be just gay men,but does include bisexual men also.
[h=1]HIV Among Gay, Bisexual, and Other Men Who Have Sex With Men[/h]
Gay, bisexual, and other men who have sex with men (MSM))arepresent approximately 2% of the United States population, yet are the population most severely affected by HIV. In 2010, young MSM (aged 13-24 years) accounted for 72% of new HIV infections among all persons aged 13 to 24, and 30% of new infections among all MSM. At the end of 2010, an estimated 489,121 (56%) persons living with an HIV diagnosis in the United States were MSM or MSM-IDU.

And there will always be cases where donated blood is not properly tested and is properly tested but yields a wrong result.
One of the controls in place to reduce the number of casualties arising from this inevitable problem is to limit demographics that pose the greatest risk from donating blood. We need to continue this policy so that people do not become HIV infected unnecessarily due to government implemented negligence to accomplish political purposes for the homosexual lobby.
Go back and read the thread from the beginning. Obviously if you have a demographic whose rate of HIV infection is 44 times that of everyone else: then you want to prevent them from donating blood.
That's the right thing to do. That's the moral thing to do. Not doing that by design is second degree murder... which when done by government policy qualifies as democide.
