I'm bisexual.
So you only have to worry about being asked or telling half the time:mrgreen:

I would not join the army if the ban was lifted (short of a draft). However, I would donate blood frequently if that restriction was lifted.
I am a thinker, not a fighter.

So you don't donate now to those fighting on the front lines because you disagree with the administrations policy?
He can't donate blood because he is gay more likely.
I didn't know there was a gay test for blood donations. Perhaps you have alink?
He might be honest about his sexuality when asked.

Yes, gay people can't donate blood because it is deemed that we are at a higher risk for HIV. Unless we lie, we can't donate blood.
What??? Like I had said, I have never been asked about who I pork, and it never was an issue, do you have a link?
I've been asked when I donated.
You could imagine the fun with that question the Good Reverend would have had he ever been asked. :mrgreen:

Check with the Red Cross...for starters. Military service disqualified me from donating blood as well (O-neg...and an every 6 week contributor for most of my adult life until the first Gulf War, service in England, Anthrax vaccines, etc...).

Looks like it is only for gay men, and not lesbians. But still, it's crap.
Ahhh mad cow that splains a lot...:2razz:
I used to donate regularly and I have never been asked about my sexual preference. the only thing that comes close is one question where they ask if you have had sex with someone for money or had sex with someone who had sex for money.
Unfortunately, I can no longer donate. apparently my blood now contains antibodies against HEP-B and it gives a false positive for HEP on the initial screening. All the blood collection agencies have told me it is not worth the extra expense to take my blood since it always has to be retested. Thanks Uncle Sam for all those vacinations you forced on me.
