- Actually not.
-
- Because I've `had sex with' (whatever that means) another man since
- 1977, I'm considered an AIDS risk.
-
- Now, who gets bone marrow transplants?
-
- People with terminal leukemia, that's who.
-
- People with terminal leukemia who have undergone massive radiation
- therapy which has killed all of their bone marrow.
-
- What happens to a person who needs a marrow transplant who doesn't
- get one?
-
- They die. Slowly. Painfully.
-
- But American Red Cross thinks it's better to die from leukemia than
- be injected with my queer blood.
-
- Fuck you, Red Cross.
