What year is it again?

Unbelievable.

I’m pretty certain that this applies to bone marrow donors as well. From my experience, part of the questionnaire that blood agencies ask when it comes to potential marrow donation is about sexual orientation and if someone says that they’re gay (I think this just applies to gay men and not women, but don’t quote me on it), they stop, don’t get a blood sample and the person isn’t allowed to even be put on the national database. I’d like for these folks to try and tell the parents of some kid dying with leukemia “well, we looked all over the world and the whole world came to us trying to help but we just couldn’t find anyone, honest! Oh wait. Except for, you know, The Gays who we didn’t even consider because you wouldn’t want their marrow anyways!”
