Repeal the 12 month gay blood ban imposed on MSM and allow gay men to give blood
At the this current time, sexually active gay and bisexual men cannot donate blood unless they abstain from sexual activity for 12 months, however, heterosexual individuals there is no issue. This is entirely unfair, as STDs are just as prevalent in straight individuals.
