A big thanks to the Metro, BBC Online, BBC Radio Two and BBC Five Live for featuring our campaign!

The UK is currently dangerously low in its stocks of blood.

Therefore the NHS spends lots of taxpayers money on advertising and marketing costs in order to increase donor levels.
However, if the NHS changed one simple rule, they could potentially have several million extra donors eligible to give blood immediately.

How? Allow healthy gay men to give blood.

The UK law is outdated, stereotypical and discriminatory towards healthy gay men.
More than that, it is risking lives - the UK urgently needs more blood.

A straight man who has unprotected sex with a different girl every weekend can give blood TODAY

A straight man who has had unprotected sex with a prostitute can give blood after just 1 year

Those who have had unprotected sex with an intravenous drug user can give blood after 1 year

Those who have had unprotected sex abroad in a high risk HIV country can give blood after 1 year

Gay men are banned FOR LIFE, even if they've only ever had sex with one partner - and even if they used protection.

We will be sending it to the NHS blood donor Chief Executive and the Prime Minister later in 2008.

You can explore the site to find out the stated reasons from the NHS for banning gay blood and the background to our mission.
Thank you for your support. Please spread the word!
