I am not allowed to give blood!

Well - I could give it if I lied but I ain't gonna do that on principle. However, there's a growing number of folk pretty pissed off with the UK's Blood Donation Service and their bigoted, discriminatory rules about who can and can't donate and I'm pleased to have been able to sign the online petition, adding my voice to the campaign to change these outdated offensive regulations!

If you wanna know more, have a read here and then if you agree with the cause, sign the petition here! Of course, you shouldn't just take my word or that of a gay news blog for granted... Do have a read around the subject - I'm not convinced you'll find any convincing argument for the current rules that isn't plastered with inequality and homophobia! Jxx

I've signed it. As a blood donor I've always thought it a ridiculous rule - all donated blood is tested for AIDS as well as other diseases.
