Allow Gay men in NI to donate their blood
This is outrageous. Men who are gay should be allowed to donate blood to whom them want. Heterosexuals can get Aids too and they are allowed to donate blood, but in the hand gay people aren't because of their sexual orientation. Gay people can save other people's lives just like heterosexuals.

This is evidence to show that NI has a lifetime ban to gay people donating blood. Make a change. This is homophobia.
