To allow homosexual men who are clear of stds to give blood
Rejected

What the petition asks
At the moment if you are a gay man you can't give blood! I think it's wrong and In today's society anybody who wants to should be able to give blood, unless infection or disease suggests otherwise. Stigma around gay men and stds is old fashioned and it's time for it to be evaluated
