T&T Court rules sex between two consenting males legal

[redmanjp]

What I don't get is isn't the Parliament the one to amend laws or judges can do that now?

[maj. tom]

It's called Common Law. Look it up.

and ganja still illegal.....to answer your question beenie man.. YES the world has gone mad...

All them dotish people who feel the PNM will legalize Ganja are dreaming.

Rowley claims to hold TALKS to "decriminalize" Ganja in 2019

In other words he will use it as an election gimmick to fool all the dotish PNM rasta supporters.

FACT is that the PNM is an Anti Science dotish party that has no place running a country.

Go ask the typical PNM supporter about Homo Erectus and Humans they will tell you that "scientists are controlled by Satan which is why they claim Evolution is real"

Every single PNM supporter I have met have all denied Evolution so it should come as no surprise that they won't listen to anything science related.

Serious question here. A friend of mine went to donate blood and he was telling me the form to fill out has a million questions concerning homosexuality, from are you a man who has sex with men to when last you take a man (my words there lol). Apparently gays aren't allowed to give blood because of the increased risk of HIV transmission. My question is now that gays have rights would we have to change the blood donation policies to please the lgbtxyz crowd? And if this thing is so hazardous that even to help save a life they still wouldn't accept blood from them then should we really be making this thing legal?

[rspann]

They go by a questionnaire, or they test it. Lying is easy inno.

[maj. tom]

Let's reference Canada's policy wrt to the issue of blood donation and homosexuals: https://blood.ca/en/men-who-have-sex-men/MSM_FAQ

It will take quite a while for that kind of discussion to even reach the table in Trinidad. Btw they do test every single donor's blood regardless of the questionnaire.

what about all the others persons on that list who can't donate? why they not complaining, why is only LGBT? You are only on that list because there is a high risk of HIV/STD transmission or some other medical reason. Even some ppl who on meds.

IMO if they want to donate have a separate blood bank for LGBT donors and it should only be for other LGBT persons. at least the risk stays in the community.


Health criteria for donating blood
These guidelines are designed to ensure that blood recipients are protected from potentially harmful blood products, and that blood donors are protected from harm. Only people in good health are accepted as blood donors.

You have been prescribed medication for high blood pressure, diabetes, heart disease, fits or asthma.
You are a pilot or in any other service aircrew occupation.
You have an occupation where a delayed faint from donating blood could cause a hazard (such as a bus driver, heavy machine operator, etc.) UNLESS you will be off-duty immediately after your donation.
