The University of Auckland has released a new report providing evidence in support of allowing more gay, bisexual, takatāpui, and other men who have sex with men to donate blood.
Gay rights groups and members of Congress called on the U.S. Food and Drug Administration to reverse the guideline that bars gay and bisexual men from donating blood unless they abstain from sex for one year.
Everyone’s first response after an atrocity like this is to ask how they can help. Gay and bisexual men are stymied in their efforts to do so by an outdated law.
