Change the law; men who have sex with men can give blood just like everyone else
Currently, men who have sex with men are banned from giving blood for 12 months. A simple screening test could show if they have any STDs or any other blood based diseases. It is currently homophobic and segregates society. A change is needed to bring equality and increase the blood donor register.
- Currently men who have sex with men are banned for 12 months from giving blood
- A screening test could be given to everyone to see if they have any blood based diseases
- Equality is needed in current UK society, not homophobia or segregation
- Changes in the law to be in line with everyone else would mean an increase in the amount of people on the blood donor register, helping to save more lives
- It would also bring a new step to bringing equality to all
