    Donate Blood: Fight for Our Right

    Hey guys. I just stumbled across this petition: http://wh.gov/lF3SJ. This petition would hopefully help to put an end to gay and bisexual men not being able to donate blood. We have to get 85,000 more signatures by July 31.

    Hey, thanks for this! I normally cannot donate because I have eczema and open sores anyways(fully tested and HIV and STD negative by the way). This is a rights issue.

    I signed it too. I might share it on Facebook so we'll reach our goal faster.

    I actually donated blood a couple months ago. They asked nothing about my sexuality, just whether or not I had had sex with men or any anal sex in general.
