Yes, that would be good if it 'spreads South' ;-)

I won't be a part of their, If you stop having sex you can donate blood. UGH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not even sure if they ever passed that option.

[kaishin108]

The US doesn't have a complete ban anymore like the did years ago. To be eligible to donate blood in the United States, men who have sex with men must abstain from same-sex sexual activity for 90 days.

There is a push to change this as discriminatory :

Not that I have a sex life, but I refuse to play their discriminatory games.
It's all or nothing for me. :)
