Councillor as Neighbourhoods taken:
"Thank you, President. I would like to talk about an episode happened in Milan a few days ago and open a discussion with some consideration. Last week a gay person, donor abituale di sangue da 8 anni con 20 donazioni alle spalle, si è recato a donare il sangue, come sempre, al Gaetano Pini.
La persona ha un partner fisso da 5 anni, anche lui donatore.
Ma cosa succede? Questa volta gli viene vietato il prelievo, a seguito dell’unificazione avvenuta, del Gaetano Pini con il Policlinico di Milano. Viene informato che anche i protocolli sono stati uniformati e sono stati assunti quelli del Policlinico, che prevedono che gli omosessuali maschi non possono donare il sangue, in quanto categoria a rischio.
Io penso che qui non si tratta di rispondere a un’ideologia con un’altra ideologia, ma di valutare, per il bene di tutti, se è giusto discriminare categorie di persone o comportamenti at risk.
A life or of conduct at risk can have all, in fact, fight the spread of AIDS has also been complicated by the fact and prejudice that "time was a disease that took only gays and drug addicts" and all we saw with 'is going to happen.
If we add the same direction at the Policlinico dell'Avis calls for a rethinking focus attention on risk behavior and the categories of donors should be split off from all sexual orientations, heterosexual - I wonder - with a multiplicity of non- protected, it is perhaps more at risk of a gay man with a lasting relationship.
A person can be openly gay and a virgin, se è per quello, e quindi penso che il problema non è quello di ricevere il suo sangue. Io penso che il problema stia anche nell’andare a indagare su tanti benpensanti eterosessuali sposati, padri di
famiglia, che forse dovrebbero destare qualche preoccupazione, viste le frequentazioni.
Allora la domanda è: qual è il fondamento scientifico che sta alla base di una decisione simile del Policlinico? Altrimenti, questa visione così restrittiva, pone due dubbi: o che siano scelte a prescindere, ideologiche, o addirittura che non vi siano dei controlli severi sul sangue donato. Io penso che esistono pregiudizi e ignoranze che per prime le Istituzioni dovrebbero combattere. Un conto è dire “non va bene quel sangue”; is one thing to say: "you as a person does not go well and you exclude".
So, I will also say, while Argentina, which is not Sweden approves gay marriage, here in Italy we are still to define people by categories, and thus to discriminate. In Milan, in Rome, in Italy there is often a deafening silence when they do episodes of homophobia. At the same time we read, for example
, there are signs that in Rome, where it says that you do not rent to gay couples, and not coincidentally Italy, compared to other European countries, is the first for sexual discrimination . Last consideration: Milan is not self-sufficient, relative to the requirements blood and is often forced to trade. Is decreasing the number of donors, since only a few institutions like
Hospital and hospitals associated with him, but not all hospitals in Milan so restrictive application of the protocols, I ask the City Council three things:
1) a Health Committee which is heard also the direction dell'Avis to understand, to ask them what are the criteria to be used for donations;
2) ask that the City play an active role in recognizing discrimination as the behavior of some hospitals to consider monogamous relationship
male homosexual behavior as a risk
3) that during the campaign to donate blood are preferred in advertising structures which do not make this discrimination. Thank you. " The President acts as
Palmeri:
"Thank you, Councillor Districts. I ask the offices to record the intervention of the District and to consider the inervento as a formal request to convene the Commission, beyond some interaction that suggest you have directly with the Commission President, whose themes relate to the topic she faced during his speech. "

Councillor Districts so involved: "I wanted to respond to the intervention of Luoni adviser, saying that my desiderio di andare in Commissione Salute e di sentire i responsabili dell’Avis, l’organismo preposto, tra l’altro, da anni alla raccolta di sangue, andava proprio nella direzione di approfondire quali sono i criteri, in caso di donazione, quindi non di stigmatizzare delle categorie di persone, ma di andare, invece, ad analizzare i comportamenti e i comportamenti a rischio”.
