apparently, there are no blood donation drives here in St. Anthony. At least not with Canadian Blood services. That makes Me a Very Sad Panda

that's so stupid. it makes me very upset to know that such. . . discrimination . . . is still allowed. i mean, basically, blood services looks at gay men (not women!) and says "you're not good enough to save lives. sorry"
it's infuriating, especially since they test every individual sample that they collect. why can't donations be based on those tests alone and not on some ancient prejudice that all gay men have HIV. it sickens me.
i would glady take your blood. because i am a vampire. but also to save my life, too.
I just try not to think about it. Hema-Quebec has actually banned blood drives at McGill because of a huge protest over this issue last year. Queer McGill is a very militant organization, sometimes.
Don't be so quick to accept my blood though. I have no idea what my blood type is. It might kill you in a horribly painful manner. :P
Teddy bear and slippers, most definitely! I don't think such antics would have ever made me lose any respect for a teacher, when I was young. I'm pretty sure I'd just think she was that much cooler, and admire her that much more!
