The medical community identifed them as a high risk group. Doesnt it take approx. six months to detect the HIV? There were medical reasons why they are in a high risk group. I think the medical community has to state those reasons again.

I think banning them is perfectly reasonable since gay people are a high risk group. Last thing we need is everyone to get HIV/AIDS.

I give blood every 56 days to the Red Cross. When I donate I have to answer 40 or 50 questions most of which deal with whether I am an intravenous drug user, have I had sex with a man or woman for money, have I had sexual contact with a male, etc etc. etc.
If I have to answer these questions in order just to donate then there must be a reason for it. Like protecting the nation's blood supply. I guarantee if the Dems get this pushed thru it will backfire on them and someone is going to get HIV. I doubt they will be able to blame the Reps for this mess.
