It seems that time is going to be a lot tough for Northern Ireland's health minister Edwin Poots with his remarks catching the attention of one and all. It was told that he had claimed that imposing ban on blood donations from gay people is appropriate and such ban should also be extended to those who indulge in sex with Africans or prostitutes.
These remarks have irked one and all especially the African Caribbean Community Support Organisation in Northern Ireland, which has called it totally disgusting. It is indeed so irresponsible for someone like Edwin Poots to speak on such sensitive issues with such casual tone.
"I think that people who engage in high-risk sexual behaviour in general should be excluded from giving blood”, Mr. Poots said, while claiming that he’s not that keen to extend such liberties to such people. Such remarks some or the other way tarnished his political image and even social media websites are buzzing with the same.
There is need to sort this matter soon before it become all the more difficult for the government to defend such a stance taken by the senior level in government. Instead of portraying a fair image of the government in the same context, the health minister has made things all the more difficult for him.
