Equality for gay men giving blood

What the petition asks
I was going to join the blood donation club today. I was feeling rather heroic knowing my blood would be used to help save lives. Because I am a gay man in a four-year relationship, I was told that I wouldn’t be eligible to donate.
I have to stay celibate for a minimum of 3 months in order to qualify.
