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.

Thats ****ing ridiculous. Ignoring the blatant stereotyping of the 'gay lifestyle' all blood is tested anyway. I know this as they had a hissy fit because I had had a tattoo 6 months before giving blood..but then ended up letting me do it anyway because they said it all gets screened
