Allow actively gay men and women to have the right to give blood donations.
Gay men and women cant currently donate blood.
I ask why is this? And challange it.
When a person gives blood to save another it is a selfless act of kindness, which gay men and women should also have the right to do. When giving blood, the blood gets tested to strict guidelines.
France have recently ammended the guidelines for giving blood allowing gay men and women in France to donate blood. Why cant we do the same? This saves lifes.
