Gay men still can’t give blood — and Trump appointee Tom Price could keep it that way
Imagine if you had the power to help save over a million lives a year, but the government was like, “nah, better not. Too gay.”
That’s what’s been going on for over thirty years, ever since the FDA banned blood and organ donations from men who have sex with men. Some other countries have lifted or reduced their bans with no negative results — so, what’s going on in the US?
