and anyone questioning the ban on gay men donating






the new policy says that any man who wants to give blood can only do so if he hasn’t had sex with another man in the past year. In other words, sexually active gay men who are married or in a monogamous relationship will still be prohibited from donating.

Unfortunately, I cannot donate, as I live in NJ.

Dear Politicians:

Those of you who use anti-gay rhetoric to rally your base, raise money & build your power, you have the blood of LGBT people on your hands today! Shame on you: Ted Cruz, Texas Lt. Governor Dan Patrick, Rick Santorum, Michele Bachmann, Mike Huckabee, Rick Perry, Sarah Palin, and countless others for using anti-gay rhetoric to further your political career.

How can hate be stopped by hate, or anger by more anger? Guns by more guns? Taller or longer walls? There was someone armed who this shooter got past... or should everyone be armed at all times everywhere? Is that freedom or living in fear, like people such as the shooter wanted? Divide and conquer; old game, new players?

If you have a bit of compassion to help this is not a frivolous money beg
