Irony

I got home from picking up the car and the phone rang.

It was the American Red Cross, who are concerned about a significant shortage in the local blood supply, and they were calling to book specific personal appointments for donations.

I explained politely to the nice woman that regrettably, they wouldn't accept my blood because I was a sexually active gay man, and until they changed their rules I would not be allowed to donate blood even though willing.

She said she would make a note of that for future campaigns.

Maybe one of thesed days they'll get around to updating their blood donation protocols.

"WTF" exactly. Can't they just test you to find out if you survived the London experience safely and then go from there? Certainly if there were nasties in your blood (ha! unlikely!) they'd have to show up now.

Idiots.
