Public health is a topic rejected by the homosexual community.

It is a known fact that the blood from homosexuals is in all
probability a threat to the safety to the nations blood supply.

We lost almost the entire population of hemophiliacs because the
homosexual population blocked efforts to exclude their blood
from the plasma centers.

There are many categories of individuals that are threats to
society. Individuals with diseases, risky lifestyles, even
living in Europe.

Diseases after all are present in tissues, not just blood.
