Ban on gay blood donors upheld by panel

[MrFun]

A pity, those are the frequencies that angels speak in.

[Ben Kenobi]

You'd have to talk to an audiologist, Albert.

[MrFun]

So we went from blood donation issues concerning gays to BK's hearing.

[giblets]

So MrFun stated the obvious.

[MrFun]

I was expressing bewilderment with how we can go from that topic to this.

[Asher]

Easy. Gays -> biologically inferior -> hearing impairment

[Asher]

I really, really want to see Ben's interpretation of the statistics showing gays are 50% less likely to be obese and far more likely to be in shape.

He's all about the hard and fast stats.

If only being deaf stopped people from reproducing.

[Guynemer]

He's all about the hard and fast

That's what she said.

[Ben Kenobi]

I really, really want to see Ben's interpretation of the statistics showing gays are 50% less likely to be obese and far more likely to be in shape.

They are also more likely to die young. Your serve.

[MrFun]

Easy. Gays -> biologically inferior -> hearing impairment

ah ha

[Asher]

They are also more likely to die young. Your serve.

There's no reliable statistics that've ever shown something near this being the case.

You're probably referring to the one by the American Family Institute or something (same one that claims only 1% of people are gay).

[MrFun]

BK would not be referring to the higher suicide rate among gay teens as a result of living in a homophobic and heterosexist society, would he? Of course not - that's not his concern.

[Ben Kenobi]

There's no reliable statistics that've ever shown something near this being the case.

AIDS alone explains this. Are you denying that HIV transmission is far higher in gay people than in any other segment of the population?

Your serve again, Asher.

[Ben Kenobi]

BK would not be referring to the higher suicide rate among gay teens as a result of living in a homophobic and heterosexist society, would he?

And nothing to do with sexual assault of minors?

Of course not - that's not his concern.

Again, your serve, Mr. Fun.
