Prejudice!!!!!!

Today my friend informed me of something that at first passed me by, but soon hit me like a ton of bricks! The friend which I am discussing is a homosexual male, but he is just like any person. Anyways, he informed me today that gay people are not permitted to donate blood, which i found to be appalling and made me question the prejudices of this world. 

Firstly, I would like to start my rant at the beginning of man kind, sometime about 6000 years ago. Let it be understood that men are merely animals. According to the theories of evolution and common sense, the the animals with the best traits live on to reproduce. All humans subconsciously realize this and hate people that are different because they fear that they might be a competition in terms of reproduction. Back in ancient times they probably resolved these arguments through fights to the death or some other primitive means, but in current times (civilized society) we take away the rights of and are prejudice against those that are different. Most significantly this can be seen all throughout white societies with discrimination against black people. The reason that this prejudice has been so predominant is because of the very distinct difference in the color of skin. 

Now back to my main argument: Gay people not being allowed to donate blood. I find this to be despicable for two reasons. Number one is that we have tests to see if people are carrying any diseases, so that cannot be used as an excuse and number two is that it defies the laws of prejudice because they are not even a reproductive threat to anyone.

Eventually, such things as prejudice will be weeded out of our genes, but we still have a lot more evolving to do. I can only hope that the progress that has been seen in the last few years will continue to move foward and prejudice will be no more.
