Change the rules to allow gay men to donate blood more freely.

What the petition asks
NHS has been crying out for people to donate more blood. Yet as a gay man I cannot do this as easily as others mainly due to the restrictions in place. Having to abstain from sex for 3 months as of 2018 is still not good enough. Gay men want to help save lives too. Help change the rules. Equality.
