Onir articulated the basic problem in his post
Onir shared a photograph of the form which discriminates against the queer community. He penned, "Feel angry/frustrated and discriminated against that as a Gay man when you donate blood. Being a healthy, safe donor who donates blood regularly, I think it's absolutely shameful that [sexuality] is a factor there...one's sexual practices/health should be the only factor for all."
