DID YOU KNOW GAY AND BISEXUAL MEN CAN NOT DONATE BLOOD IN THE United States? UNLESS THEY ARE CELIBATE FOR 3 MONTHS!
-
As many of you know, I am the founder of Blood is Blood, a non-profit organization founded in Oct 2015 after I was turned away from donating life-saving blood because I was gay!
It is our mission to encourage the FDA to change and implement blood donation policies that are not discriminatory toward gay and bisexual men in an effort to save countless lives!

While we have come a long way from a once indefinite deferral to a 12-month deferral (Dec 2015) to now a 3-month deferral period. (Aug 2020)
The U.S. Food and Drug Administration needs to do better!
With Canada recently joining the list of many countries that no longer ban gay blood the USA needs to follow suit!
Please join me and sign our Change.org petition to the FDA, President Joe Biden, Vice President Kamala Harris, and my friend who has been fighting for us since 2015, Rep. Brian Higgins

Leaving this policy in place ENCOURAGES discrimination and SHOULD NOT BE TOLERATED, I URGE YOU to sign this petition, contact your local congressmen and or contact THE FDA and express your disapproval of this policy.
