Lift the ban on gay men donating blood, especially now more than ever
Its absolutely ludicrous that gay men are not allowed to donate blood, allow gay men to be screened and if their blood is clean let them donate just like anyone else
At a time like this its crucial more and more blood donars donate but we could have more blood donors available by lifting the ban on gay men

The Government e-Petitions Team gave the following reason:
There's already a petition about this issue. We cannot accept a new petition when we already have one about a very similar issue.

While it's not the case that there remains a ban on gay men donating blood, there is a 3 month waiting period. You might like to sign this petition to remove that restriction:
