The implication is though that it's ok because hetrosexual couples do it.
If it might be so bold to suggest it is the fidelity of the partner that matters, not what sex the individuals are.If you are faithful to one partner, that does a lot to alleviate concerns.

People can still physically penetrate either orifice, so it is not a question of why they cannot love, it's more a question of higher risk factors associated with that particular kind of love. Policy decisions are often made on statistical risk rather than on a case by case basis.There is such a thing as safe sex or else two people in love being tested in advance.

Quote from: Gabriella on May 22, 2015, 03:58:43 PMQuite possibly - sexually active gay men are barred for 12 months from donating blood regardless of whether they have used a condom or not, as the evidence apparently suggests that condoms are often not used correctly and result in a false sense of security. Policy decisions are based on taking people as they find them rather than idealised scenarios where everything happens the way it is supposed to. But they are conveniently ignoring the fact that many normal couples indulge in anal penetration, and are thus just as likely to be infected.

It does in the sense of accepting responsibilities in relationships, and caring about partners.Gay people are no different to hetrosexuals in this way.
Nonsense! The implication was that to exclude gay couples because of the dangers of anal penetration is a tad stupid if you are not going to exclude heteros who indulge in it too.

But not enough to tip the tradeoff off of need-for-safety vs need-for-blood in favour of the former, perhaps.
Brilliant story - YEShttp://entertainment.ie/life/Irish-guy-live-tweets-his-race-to-make-it-home-from-Edinburgh-after-finding-out-hes-registered-to-vote/365321.htm
It seems certain here view being 'male' gay as only involving anal penetration !?!?!!?How many straights would 'admit' to this act? Probably a hell of a lot more than one would think.
