The FDA is about to implement new guidelines for sperm banks, suggesting that anonymous donations from any gay men who have had sex in the last five years be rejected. The ostensible goal is to avoid the possibility of HIV infection — but not only does it presume that all gay men have promiscuous sex, it differs from guidelines regarding heterosexuals, where only an interval of a year since unprotected high-risk sex took place is needed for a donation to be allowed.
In other words, if a gay man has been in a committed, monogamous relationship for the past five years, he is still presumed to be more “unclean” than a guy who was boffing hookers without a condom a year ago.
Disgusting.

Evidently Leviticus is now part of the FDA guidelines. What a surprise.
