I don't understand why a healthy gay man who has regular check ups and a full bill of health wouldn't be allowed to help people when there's such a shortage of people who are willing to donate.
Apparently we are walking STD's.

I knew this... my friend tried to become a blood donor and couldn't because he's gay. He's in a long-term relationship and far less promiscuous than a lot of my hetero friends, and it's not like heterosexuals are immune from STDs. I find it difficult to understand.
