Kerry asks FDA to lift ban on “gay” men donating blood

Boston Globe: “Senator John F. Kerry of Massachusetts called today for the Food and Drug Administration to lift a ‘discriminatory’ ban on gay men donating blood. ‘Not a single piece of scientific evidence supports the ban,’ the Democratic senator said in a statement. ‘A law that was once considered medically justified is today simply outdated and needs to end, just as last year we ended the travel ban against those with HIV.’”
