Allow gay men and women to LEGALLY give blood and save lives
Stop gay men and women having to lie and pretend that they are celibate and allow them to legally donate blood and platelets. All blood is tested and vitally needed. We are openly discriminating against these wonderful individuals that are willing to help save lives.
