What if you couldn't donate blood simply because of whom you loved? This is the reality for gay & bisexual men across the country. It’s time for #BloodEquality

IT'S TIME FOR FULL LGBTQI+ EQUALITY!! Yet today, on #WorldBloodDonorDay, most gay, bisexual and queer men are unable to donate blood because of the FDA's stigmatizing and biased policies. #WorldBloodDonorDay23 #Pride #BloodDonor #Activism #AI commondreams.org/opinion/fda…

Using AI to Expose the Artificial Progress of FDA’s New Blood Donation Policy | Common Dreams

As we are in Pride Month—and with World Blood Donor Day approaching on June 14—it is important to make sure these conversations continue all year, every year, until there is full equality.

The stigma continues: the plasma of gay and bi men who have recovered from COVID-19 could be helping current patients—if they were allowed to donate blood. Now, more than ever, it's time for #ScienceNotStigma. #BloodEquality #COVID19 Blood-Equality.com @jack_turban

615,000 pints of blood are rejected per year because the donor is gay or bi. Despite advancements in science, discrimination prevails. Ready to fight the gay blood ban? Challenge your friends to spread the word and fight the ban too #BloodEquality bit.ly/2JCnwTh

Canada- you were one of the first five countries in the world to legalize same-sex marriage. Yet many of those same people are still forbidden to donate blood— our own brothers, fathers, and sons. You can be a pioneer for equal rights again, Canada. Join us. #BloodEquality

Australia-you defend marriage equality, yet look away as thousands of healthy donors are banned from donating blood unless they promise to remain celibate for a year. Just because they’re gay men. Celibacy deferral = a ban. So, when will you join us? #BloodEquality

Hey Brazil, marriage equality is a great first step. But if you're serious about supporting LGBT rights, stop refusing "gay blood." Thousands of gay and bi men are required to promise to be celibate for a year to donate...Doesn't sound like a true LGBT ally to us. #BloodEquality

In Germany, marriage Equality was granted last year. Yet gay and bisexual men still cannot donate blood. That's untold liters of healthy blood lost, unavailable to people in need. It's time for science, not stigma. #BloodEquality

Same-sex marriage is legal in all 50 states... but gay and bi men still can't donate blood? LGBT support can't be selective. It's time. Lift the ban, USA. #BloodEquality

We're one in our blood, and we're one with everyone in saying #ThankYouAlabama
More than 615,000 pints of blood are turned away annually just because the donor is gay or bisexual. Today, we’re in #Birmingham showing just what that discrimination looks like— and raising awareness of all the lives it could save.
