		<description><![CDATA[AS A NEGRO-MALE HOMOSEXUAL, I FEEL THE DONOR BAN IS UNFAIR. YES - I UNDERSTAND THE NEED TO PROTECT THE GENERAL PUBLIC FROM A TAINTED BLOOD SOURCE. IF A DONOR PASSES, LET&#039;S SAY, A BI-ANNUAL BLOOD SCREENING THAT SHOULD BE ENOUGH. THE GOVERNMENT IS DISCRIMINATING AGAINST MALE HOMOSEXUALS BY TELLING US OUR SEX LIVES HAD TO HAVE STOPPED NO LATER THAN 1976. THE GOVERNMENT W-O-U-L-D N-O-T TELL HETEROSEXUALS THAT, I GUARANTEE! FURTHERMORE, MANY NEGRO-MALE HOMOSEXUALS ARE ALSO HOMELESS. MONEY EARNED FROM BLOOD/PLASMA DONATIONS COULD HELP THEM TO &quot;GET OFF THE STREET&quot; - WHICH IN TURN, WOULD REDUCE THE PRISON POPULATION, AS WELL AS, HATE CRIMES.
THANKS FOR YOUR TIME.
