Aaron Pace is admittedly and noticeably effeminate, but he says he’s not homosexual.
Still, his looks, character and behavior prompted a blood donation center to reject him when he tried to donate blood recently and he’s miffed, to say the least.
So if you want to donate blood, you better act heterosexual - whatever that means.
In 1994 I was stationed on a ship home-ported in Gaeta, Italy for two years. Because of that I cannot donate blood. Prior to my enlistment I use to donate three times a year. Now I can't donate at all.

Here we go again. Waaa it's not fair to gays. The reason HIV outbreaks stopped is because of this policy. So now that the gay's are seeking their special place in society they want to taint the blood supply again. Maybe if this guy would get a job instead of whining about not getting his $40 to gamble or buy booze.

I also was stationed on a ship home-ported in Gaeta, Italy and I can still donate blood. Maybe it's something else, something from the middle east if you where ever there or something from the USS La Salle? Could be a lot of different reasons why you can't donate now, I wouldn't just point my finger at just one possible source.
“I was humiliated and embarrassed,” said Pace, 22. of Gary. “It’s not right that homeless people can give blood but homosexuals can’t. And I’m not even a homosexual.”
I don't neccessarily agree with the policy, but when you make comments like the one listed above, it is very telling.
I believe that he is gay (or at least bisexual) and that he has an agenda. The law is the law. Anyone can lie on the "confidential" questionaire. I believe they did the right thing by making this judgment call.
I also don't agree with the homeless being able to give blood, either (unless it was a center that didn't hand out $$$ for donations). I'm curious how many homeless people donate at places that don't pay. People will say anything for money, especially junkies and alcoholics.

If they're testing the blood donations correctly, then there should be no need to discriminate against any category of people.
Just a serious question UM. Does the HIV virus show up immediately in a test if it was just contracted through sexual intercourse say, a month or a week earlier? I heard it can take up to six months to show as positive on blood tests.
