Mr Yakk:
It doesn't matter _at all_ whether or not you engage in risky behaviour....
THEY ARE GOING TO TEST THE DONATED FLUIDS ANYWAY - STRAIGHT OR GAY.
So why ask the question and discount a numerically large section of the community from civic duties?
Bigotry.
Plain and simple.
You say you agree that it's wrong, so why are you trolling the devil's advocate line?
The only way you'd be cutting down costs is in cutting down the number of donations and therefore tests that are performed on every single batch.
Woohoo.
I've got an idea, lets just stop semen/blood/plasma/etc donations and watching the savings and corpses mount.
