Closed Give gay men the same right as everybody else in terms of giving blood

Closed on

Gay men currently have to wait one year after having sex to give blood. This is not fair or equal and brings inequality to the UK as well as homophobia. A simple screening test for all andstopping everyone having sex a week before becoming a donor could be a way to bring fairness to resolve this.
