People were murdered today. They weren't just murdered because they were American. They weren't just murdered because they were human. They were murdered because they were gay. They were murdered

Hundreds of Orlando residents looking for ways to help victims of the tragic LGBT nightclub shooting lined up to donate blood and plasma outside of a blood bank Sunday morning.

OneBlood and the Orlando Regional Medical Center urgently requested people to donate blood following the shooting at Pulse nightclub that left at least 50 dead and 53 others injured and fighting for their lives.

Gay men are not able to donate however despite the need, with the federal Food and Drug Administration legally prohibiting any man who has had sex with another man in the past year from giving blood.

That policy was put in place just last year, and actually loosened the agency's original ban issued in 1985 which prohibited any man who had engaged in sexual relations with another man at any point after 1977 from donating blood.

The ban angered many on Sunday given the nature of the tragedy, with some speaking out about the need for a change.

'It is legal to buy an assault weapon, a device built for MASS murder. It's illegal for a gay man to donate blood to save his friends' lives,' wrote Carina Mackenzie on Twitter.

'Maybe it would be easier for gay men to donate blood if they poured it into bullets and then shot it into the recipient?' wrote Luke O'Neil.

Representative Jared Polis of Colorado, who is openly gay, also spoke out on Twitter, writing: 'The inexcusable @US_FDA gay blood ban still in effect despite need for blood to help victims #mybloodisthesameasyours.'

Gay men not allowed to give blood? Bet the Muslims didn't vote that law into place.

Nope, smells like a good old, God fearing, bible clinching christian law abiding politician! Yaaaa Murica!

It's so sad gay people are discriminated against and the law backs up the discrimination

Quite what the Christian connection is I have no idea.

Sorry

I thought that the thread was about the latest RoP atrocity.

Yeh, so I suggest you take your anger about being discriminated as a Former? Welsh citizen elsewhere. This is not about a massacre in a gay club Orlando, and discrimination against homosexuals.

Gotta go.

No anger, just an observation. And being a Welsh Citizen has not been available for 900 years or so.

Being massacred is sort of being discriminated against?

A slow picture emerges of this killer. A man once friend with gays and lesbians, is suddenly noticed to have moments of violent and disturbing behavior. Worked for a company notorious for misconduct allegations and knew of his behavior but would not fire him. A whack-a-doo father, a history of domestic violence (against an immigrant), went to Saudi, investigated by the FBI, a history of mental instability, and steroid abuse. http://www.thedailybeast.com/articles/2016/06/12/drag-queen-orlando-gunman-omar-mateen-was-my-friend.html Still managed to purchase all weapons within a week.

His Dad says ''only God can punish gays'' but according to the WBC this killer is the holy instrument of such punishments and so many totes agree.

Recent co-workers described Mateen’s demeanor as aggressive and anti-gay. Daniel Gilroy, who worked with Mateen at the security company G4S, told Florida Today that he was “unhinged and unstable.”

“I quit because everything he said was toxic, and the company wouldn’t do anything,”Gilroy told the news outlet. “This guy was unhinged and unstable. He talked of killing people.”

He said Mateen stalked him with dozens of text messages a day, but the company didn’t take action because Mateen was Muslim.

So the company is afraid to do the right thing.

Done with K1, AOS and ROC
