blood bans

Men who have sex with men (and women they have sex with) in America are still prevented from freely giving blood as other countries around the world, blood banks, and scientists move away from such archaic policies.

Getting rid of the FDA blood ban would empower 175,000 likely gay and bi male donors to give an estimated 300,000 pints of additional blood annually, potentially saving over a million lives each year.

Potential LGBTQ donors are getting mad at blood banks, and blood banks are getting mad at the Trump administration.
