So, the $100,000 question is: Do I take back my organ donor status, since it stands to reason that if they won't take my blood, then they probably don't want my organs, either? Or maybe I could insist that they add a box to check that specifies that my organs must be given ONLY to GLBT recipients?

WHY give future PROFIT to a medical community that calls you a second-class citizen? Even IF you stipulated the organs should only go to GLBT recipients, can you trust the community that has ostracized an entire community to follow those instructions?

| 2. Yeah, let your organs rot |

No use in saving anyone's life after you're gone, right?
Come on, this is a no-brainer. Stop with the drama and do the right thing!

| 3. I'm about 50% sarcastic in that OP.... |
|
but surely you see the hypocrisy of this? If I were to die in a car accident today, my organ donor status is up to date. They would harvest my organs without any regard (or even knowledge) of my sexual orientation.

If I died today, my organs could be used to save Rush Limbaughs life. But, they just might be needed to save a childs life, or a friend's, or anyone else's. You see my point as well, I'm sure.

The rational thinker in me does, at least. However, I am getting tired of the invisible "US Citizen, 2nd Class" stamp on my birth certificate. This is just one example that popped into my head...
