Just a reminder that the state bans gay and bisexual men from donating blood.
We are legally not able to save our own lives.
Fuck homophobia. Fuck the state.
trans women are also coercively and transmisogynistically assigned the label of “men who have sex with men” and are also banned from blood donations
No they are lifting the ban temporarily (as seen on MSNBC news) so donations can be made from everyone at this time.
–Patty Sheehan, Orlando District 4 Commissioner made this statement (not verbatim).
oh thank god
if you can, please reblog this version of this post so that gay/bisexual men and trans women in Orlando can know they can donate blood
