Picking on gays is easy
"What would happen if the Food and Drug Administration decided that they were adding blacks to the list of those who are banned from donating blood?"

"they won’t be, because singling out other sinners is too difficult. It’s easy to single out the gays."

3. Wow. You skipped a whole bunch in the middle.
Makes it look like someone thinks being black is a sin.

Sucky editing.

4. You know what would be awesome? If everyone stopped playing oppression olympics.
Especially since people born in Africa or the Caribbean ARE banned from donating blood, at least in Canada.

It's actually pretty easy to pick on a lot of oppressed groups. Making "us" out to be the number one oppressed group helps nobody. And I put "us" in quotation marks, because queer people of colour, people with disabilities, women, poor people, and the like do actually exist. As a queer woman with a disability, when you say that gays are the number one oppressed group, you do not speak for me.
