It is NOT 1985 for goodness sake! I can understand at the time, but today in 2015 – there is no excuse at all! Chile, Argentina, Portugal and Russia have NO restrictions on gay or bi men donating blood!

What! We here in Australia are even behind Russia on this policy – how sad and embarrassing! Strange because nearly all nations that have same-sex marriage right now (except for Portugal and Argentina) have bans on gay or bi men donating blood! How very strange indeed!
