So, Canadian Blood Services has been crying about the dangerously low stockpile of blood as of late. Well, boo fucking hoo! Don't publicly lament the dearth of donors on one hand and then uphold a discriminatory ban against accepting the blood of gay and bisexual men. I personally tried to donate blood twice when I was in university and I was twice denied because I was sexually active with other men. Never mind that I practised safe sex. The issue was that I had sex at all. Don't get me wrong, I believe that Canadian Blood Services does good work and saves lives. But they will never get my sympathy as long as they prevent people like me and Jason from donating our blood.
