Rejected petition Look into the laws concerning gay men and women being able to donate blood.

Having been in a committed relationship for the last 10 years I find it difficult to comprehend that I am still not allowed to donate blood because of my sexual orientation. In a world where screening is easier this should change. There is a shortage of blood yet gay men are not allowed to donate.
