They don't take gay blood.

Re: Have you ever donated blood?

Was there ever a time where if they "suspected" you were gay, that they'd turn you away from donating blood? Honestly curious.

There were some fucked up times in our history, I honestly don't know WTF they did.

Re: Have you ever donated blood?

When I was in high school I had gone to donate at the blood drive. The woman said she couldn't get the needle in and attempted on both arms. Mysteriously she wasn't able to get the needle in properly and since she attempted both arms, they told me they didn't want to keep sticking me.

In the end they didn't take my blood. At the time I really thought nothing of it but looking back I do wonder if they perhaps suspected I was gay and were therefore hesitant to take my blood. I wasn't out at that point so if anyone asked me directly or indirectly if I was gay, I would probably have denied it at that point.
I'm fairly certain that one of the questions asked in the screening paperwork was if I had ever had gay sex and at that point I hadn't.

I've had numerous people draw blood samples on me over my lifetime and never have they ever told me they couldn't get it in my vein. In hindsight I'm fairly certain they didn't take my blood at the blood drive because they thought I might be gay.

Re: Have you ever donated blood?

I have no doubt there was a time when it was done, perhaps not overtly, but I wondered how they presented it to cover their tracks to make it so. (That being said, I have no doubt that there exists a time when they were not so subtle in who they rejected for donating blood, or organs, just like who they allowed into medical school).

Re: Have you ever donated blood?

Yes. It wasn't my own..

Re: Have you ever donated blood?

Yes. I used to donate it every time they came to my high school, or whenever I caught a blood bus around town. I don't really see them anymore, so it's been a while since my last donation.
