You really think that ban made any difference? - it's based on the honor system. The only real way to protect the blood supply is with reliable tests. Last time I gave blood they asked me a bunch of questions on behaviors that required honest answers. They didn't ask if I was gay, but they did ask if I engaged in gay sex. Anyone who has been to the UK and eaten beef over there has to be honest too.

it's lifting the ban in semantics only.


The United States government on Monday overturned its 30-year ban on blood donations by gay men, saying they can now donate 12 months after their last sexual contact with another man.

so basically, celibate gay dudes? i don't see how that would make much of a difference if this is just based on the honor system anyway
