Oslo Sperm Bank Turns Away Gays

They don't use the American Red Cross excuse that all gays are infected with AIDS, but somehow the Norwegian national sperm bank in Oslo offends us even more. They do not allow sperm donations from gays because we are "psychologically unsuitable." They make the assumption that any gay man who would donate sperm is doing so purely as a means of "spreading his genes" as opposed out of a desire to "help people."

We, however, think that the whole issue is perhaps a cover-up for a larger problem: lack of gay porn at the Oslo sperm bank.

yes, gay sperm has a mind all it's own. why, those little tadpoles are on a missionary-postition impossible to convert the world. such evil, microscopic threats like this must be nipped in the cones and the lgbt conspiratists exposed. why, lesbian ova are known to contain computer chips to program fetuses NO DONATIONS FOR INVITRO!!!

come on norwegian sperm banks, wake up and smell your arm pits.

the oslo sperm bank should also conduct a study to find out how many future kids will be gays/lesbians that they will produce. i'm sure they will be very surprised!

"Psychologically unsuitable"? Since when is that argument used to prevent people from reproducing? Believe me, there would be BILLIONS of people excluded from parenting if this "criteria" were applied across the board.

I'm very surprised by this. I spent some time in Norway a few years ago and they were quite liberal (not so much as Denmark and Sweden, but very much more liberal than the US). At least the other national sperm bank has no problems with it.
