In many countries gay men are banned from donating blood because it's assumed they will lie when asked about sexual history. Straight men aren't even asked.

In the United states, a gay man must state he is celibate for at least one year prior to donating. Even if he is faithfully married. A straight man who has regular unprotected sex, will not be banned.

Normally, NO. This is because of a false assumption that they have a high risk for Sexually Transmitted Diseases (STD) and HIV/AIDS.

In fact, most gay men are perfectly safe.

Is there a federal law banning gay men from giving blood in the us?

It is not a federal law, but there is a law in place. Gay men in the U.S. cannot give blood as there is an unfounded fear of these men having HIV, without knowing, and spreading that disease into the blood supply. This law even applies to men who have monogamous partners.

Are more gay men circumcised?

No, most gay men in the world are not circumcised. Consider the fact that most circumcisions are done before the child reaches adulthood (and in fact, most are babies). How would the parents know what the sexual orientation of their son is?Also, most of the world does not practice circumcision, and gay men make of 3-8% of all men in every society, so most gay men live in places where there is no circumcision.

Does it make you gay if a girls gives you anal?

Hmm, curious question. I'll assume it's serious. Do you mean "Will you become gay" or "Is it evidence that you are gay". The answer, either way, is emphatically "No". Your sexual preferences simply "are". Each of us finds what gets us off. If you try a sexual practice like anal sex, and enjoy it, then you can add it to your repertoire. If not, don't. None of them "make you" anything. Incidentally, there are plenty of gay men (i.e. men who are attracted exclusively to men) who aren't into anal sex. Just as there are straight men and women whose preferences vary from the "norm". Relax, explore, find what you enjoy and do more of it. As long as it doesn't hurt anyone.
