After 40 years, Red Cross finally ends blood-donation policy that stigmatized and men. https://www.cnbc.com/2023/08/07/red-cross-ends-blood-donation-rules-singling-out-gay-and-bisexual-men.html

@stevesilberman @lisamelton I guess we had to ignore a bigger pandemic before we could ignore “the gay one”

opalmirror,

@stevesilberman With one female partner up to age 30, I donated many pints of blood. When that relationship died I declared I was bisexual, thus I was deferred from donating blood for the last 27 years... despite having two 9+ year monogamous heterosexual relationships during that time. Oh the gallons of blood I would have donated. I will give the local blood bank a call. Shitty FDA policy based in Reagan era terror of boy butt sex and weaponization of AIDS fears is effing over, at long last.

@stevesilberman I cut up my donor card and sent it back to the Red Cross in 1985.
