Bane was at least halfly constructive when he got in this thread. Saying "what you say doesn't matter; bible" is not.

Moose only stopped trolling when Bane jumped in to keep you all running around for 20 pages. As soon as Bane stopped, Moose jumped back into the fray. Regardless of how sincere Bane probably was, it was still way off topic and wasn't going anywhere. Moose just wants to troll y'all.

There is no debate about civil rights issues. Period. It doesn't exist. There's no need to tolerate the pretense that it does from anyone. It's a distractor, a detractor, and it's been successfully trolling this country for years. The 14th Amendment either exists or it doesn't.

I found this pretty cute about Mass Effect 3, and it might make some homophobes mad

Spoiler: show

That's a pretty nice bone Bioware threw our way, even if they are dicks.

They had that in Dragon Age 1/2 also.

I realize it's wikipedia so lol at it if you want but I found it interesting.

Mostly did this because of the queens on drag race talking about gay history n' such. Made me want to learn more about it.

There's also a woman on the Citadel talking with her Asari mistress about how to tell her husband she wants a divorce. All Asari are female, if anyone is unfamiliar with the games. Inter-species AND lesbian! And of course there's Liara, an Asari romance option for either gender Shepard. That's olde, though, since she's been an available romance since the first game.

The Health and Human Services Department (HHS) is considering new criteria for blood donation for gay men, reports The Hill.

Currently, men who have had sex with other men (MSM) since 1977 cannot donate blood due to “higher levels of certain transfusion-transmissible infections” among that population, the notice explains. Members of Congress’s interest and increased accuracy among donor testing have made the department reconsider the ban.

“[T]he increased effectiveness of donor testing for [Human Immunodeficiency Virus (HIV)], [Hepatitis B Virus (HBV)], syphilis and other infectious agents has greatly enhanced blood safety,” the department states in the notice, which will be published in the Federal Register Tuesday.

“As a result, questions have been raised about the need to continue an indefinite deferral of all MSM and whether there could be blood donation by MSM who may not be at increased risk.”

Right now, HHS is only seeking comments for a new pilot program—which would reflect the vast amount of new information about the disease science has gained since the original criteria were enacted, as well as more accurate and faster testing technology. Those who met certain standards—say, a single same-sex encounter a given number of years ago—would theoretically be allowed to donate, with additional precautions in place.

That's good to hear.

Agreed, more research is always welcome, and having a sexual encounter years prior with a MSM resulting in a lifetime ban is likely excessive from a safety standpoint.

Burly rugby player has a stroke after freak gym accident… wakes up gay and becomes a hairdresser
Daily Mail ^ | Nov.8, 2011 | Claire Bates

A 19st rugby player suffered a stroke while training - and discovered when he woke up that he was gay.
Chris Birch, 26, had proposed to his girlfriend and worked in a bank when he suffered a freak accident in the gym.
The rugby-loving Welshman was trying to impress his friends with a back flip but broke his neck and suffered a stroke.
He was taken to the Royal Gwent hospital where his girlfriend and family waited for news - but said: 'I was gay when I woke up and I still am.'
His friends were stunned by the dramatic changes to his personality, especially his change in sexuality.
Chris said: 'It sounds strange but when I came round I immediately felt different.
'I wasn't interested in women any more. I was definitely gay.
'I had never been attracted to a man before - I'd never even had any gay friends. But I didn't care about who I was before, I had to be true to my feelings.'
Before the accident Chris was planning on settling down with his girlfriend, although they were having a break from each other at the time of his accident.

***Blarg*** · 2012-05-08 20:48

I experienced blunt force trauma to my Perianal a few years back and the very next day I woke up gay so it's definitely possible

Well, he's said it now.

He's upgraded from civil union to marriage. This is going to set the right into an even higher gear.

**Ragnus** · 2012-05-09 14:52

I don't see the big deal about him just coming out and saying it. The right are already in an anyone but Obama fervor as shown with that inmate in West Virginia getting 40+% of the vote on the democratic primary vote in that state.
