According to the FDA, prior to 2015, gay and bisexual individuals were not able to donate blood at all.
For Jigsaw, an “All Types Welcome” blood drive campaign will be focused on encouraging everyone to get involved while highlighting the stigma against gay and bisexual men from donating blood.
Jigsaw comes to cinemas next month, and to mark the release a tie-in “All Types Welcome” blood drive is being run.
A number of HIV and LGBT rights activists have spoken out against the FDA for perpetuating stigma against these marginalized communities.
