ZA: Gays Continue Donating Blood In Violation Of The Law


The South African National Blood Service (SANBS) has warned that it is criminal offence to disclose false information when you donate blood. This follows after the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GLA) claimed that another 350 gay people donated blood today, bringing the total to 650.

GLA 'a freak show'
16/01/2006 11:06 - (SA)

Dear Editor,

The latest claim by the Gay and Lesbian Alliance (GLA) that 120 potentially HIV-positive gays donated blood secretly is utter nonsense!

The GLA has neither the power nor the membership to be able to direct this type of operation. The media coverage given to this so-called organisation's latest press release has once again highlighted the damage the GLA does to the gay community in South Africa.

In fact the GLA is a joke. As a member of the gay community, I have yet to meet a single gay person who supports the GLA, who knows anyone else who does, or who has any idea who or where the organisation is to be found.

GLA 'creates mayhem'

Juan Uys, the head of the GLA, and the media director David Baxter, are thought to be one and the same person - a publicity-hungry man who never appears in public, and who creates mayhem for the gay community that he claims to represent.

With a non-existent address and an ever-changing cellphone number, the GLA's top exec/s (sic) are continually unreachable and untraceable.

Unfortunately every community has its freak show, and the GLA is the gay community's. Every single legitimate gay and lesbian organisation in SA has publicly discredited it over the years, but their statements have been largely ignored in favour of its sensationalist claims.

It's high time action was taken against this entity, if for no other reason than to stop the malicious rumours spread purely for the purpose of alienating society against a community that already lives on the knife-edge of tolerance.

The press should stop giving coverage to trouble-makers, and insist on proof of its claims before publishing statements.

Tracey Sandilands,
Johannesburg
