I'm so happy that i was born in Melbourne as there are not MANY homophobic laws still in place. I really hope this one is removed because I really want to give blood, what's a bit of my time for the life of another? I really hope the ban is revoked.

That really isn't the issue here. HIV is as just as prevalent in some other communities as it is in the gay male community (and in some areas even moreso) and that is really the point and what this article is addressing.
