Shortly after the AIDS epidemic began, medical authorities instituted a ban on blood donations by gay men. Now, however, authorities are considering rescinding this ban, citing improved screening techniques as a way to protect the blood supply without resorting to such blanket prohibitions on potential donors. So you all know what this means, right? We can look forward to right-wing diatribes about how allowing homosexuals to donate blood will set the United States careening down a slippery slope that will culminate in dogs donating blood to cats and other violations of the natural order.
