SSM is pretty much done and settled. Other than some kvetching by some for a few months, the din will die down and fade away.

So, now what? We can't go about our lives. We have to have some wrong to right. In your estimation, what will the next big issue be?

Economic. I think this Greece stuff is going to hit us a lot harder than some people are expecting.

I support all of those with the exception of donating blood. I think blood donations should be strictly based on a scientific assessment of risk factors.

I understand the hesitation to allow gays to donate blood. There is a distinct difference between simply banning gays from donating blood and banning those infected with AIDS from donating blood however. If a certain race was banned from donating blood due to a higher prevalence of AIDS among that race, there would obviously be an outcry against it, which would be justified because it would be racial discrimination. Additionally, given the potential of blood donations to save lives, it would be wrong to prevent people from donating blood when it has the potential to save lives. I would be fine with a temporary deferral for gays donating blood in order to ensure that the donor is not infected, as is the status quo in many other countries.
