* is nurse blake gay *
We are the middle of Pri month and is beg reported that at least 7 of the 2020 Democratic Printial ndidat are llg for an end to the policy that bans gay and bisexual men om donatg blood the Uned Stat. "The one-year ferral perd for male blood donors who intify as gay and bisexual has nothg to do wh science or medice and everythg to do wh outdated stigmas agast the LGBTQ muny, " a spokperson for Beto O'Rourke's mpaign told The Inpennt.
He relentlsly protted to the Feral Government and was succsful changg the policy erng blood donatn by homosexual and bisexual men. ’ And she replied, ‘Bee you’re a gay male.
But wh some rearch, I found out the FDA had that policy place (permanently banng gay and bisexual mal donatg blood) sce 1983. After 2 years of fightg to get our voic heard, the FDA, as of 2015, lifted the permanent ban on gay and bisexual mal on donatg blood. NB: So, while the FDA lifted the lifetime ban, there is still a ferral perd place that match all other blood donor ferrals – meang, a gay man, even myself, would need to practice abstence for 12 months before donatg blood.
