I have been thinking about my friends who were turned away from blood drives simply because of who they love. This policy ignores the testing technology we already use and it needs to change so everyone can contribute to saving lives.

Seeing this kind of momentum feels like a long overdue acknowledgment of the unfair barriers keeping so many people from helping others. It proves that people are finally ready to look at the science instead of holding onto outdated prejudice.

RIDICULOUS. my brother is gay and his blood is just as good as anyone elses. stop the discrimination.
its 2016 for gods sake. if they test the blood anyway why keep these ancient rules. let people help others who need it.

blood banks are always short on supply but they turn away perfectly healthy donors. makes no sense.
