The Obama administration has lifted its blanket ban on blood donations by gay men—saying they can now donate blood but only if they haven’t had sex with another man in the past 12 months. The Food and Drug Administration said it made the decision in response to the latest science on HIV transmission. But critics say the policy is still biased. Colorado Congressmember Jared Polis, who co-chairs a caucus of openly gay congressmembers, told Reuters, “It is ridiculous and counter to the public health that a married gay man in a monogamous relationship can’t give blood, but a promiscuous straight man who has had hundreds of opposite-sex partners in the last year can.”
