Why it was rejected

It was not clear what the petition asked the UK Government or Parliament to do.

People aren't banned from giving blood because of their sexuality. If you'd like a specific change to the rules on giving blood for men who have sex with men, you could start a new petition asking for the change you'd like to see.
