...AND THE BAND'S STILL PLAYING...:
Sanity Prevails (Scott Norvell, 2/06/06, Fox News)
The University of Vermont's office of affirmative action has tried to prevent the Red Cross from operating blood drives on campus because the group discriminates against gay men by not accepting their donations, reports the Burlington Free Press.The office was acting on a complaint from a gay student, who said the group refuses to accept donations from sexually active gay men because of the threat of AIDS. The policy reflects that of the U.S. federal government.
University officials, however, rejected the plea, insisting that donating blood is "an individual choice and action — not rising to the definition of protected activity in the case of discrimination or equal protection."
The Free Press says student government's at the University of Maine's Orono campus have voted to bar the Red Cross, and the University of New Hampshire's Student Senate last year passed a resolution calling on the Red Cross and the FDA to revise the homophobic policies.
The most important thing we've learned about AIDs in America is that oit has fed on a staggering and continuous level of irresponsibility on the part of gay men.
it's not as if they have anything to live for, so why not take the lost boys express to oblivion.
