Gay men have a lifetime ban from donating blood, FDA in process of changing policy
So they are featuring a mutant who refers to itself as "they" who lied about being gay on the form and they are celebrating this degenerate liar?
"
bautista, who uses they/them pronouns and the lowercase spelling of their name, recommends including if the sexual acts were consensual or if protection was used. They point out that with the new recommendation, HIV-negative, married men who have sex with only each other are still denied from giving blood.
When bautista first registered to donate in 1999, there was a misunderstanding with the MSM questionnaire; once registered, bautista later received a call that their O-negative blood was needed for a 4-year-old with cancer. Although they were aware that they technically weren’t allowed to donate, and knowing they were HIV negative, bautista chose to lie about their sexual history in order to help the child.
“From then on, any time I received a call for a blood donation, I would donate,” bautista said. “All of the times, it was for children. These kids need it, and for me, that outweighs the discriminatory practice on part of the FDA.”"
