I’ve been trying to raise some awareness about it for years (verbally to anyone that will listen) as has Peter Tatchell who wrote on the topic from 1996 onwards.

It just annoys me that Stonewall have only just decided to chanllenge it.

To Mike – I understand the historic context in the 80′s but they have come along way since then! Oh and interesting you used to work for the NHS, so did I.

To Sye – I’d force you to give it for free! Ha ha, I’d talk you in to it, in return for lunch. We could be blood buddies.

Oh and if you want to sign a No. 10 Petition about changing the rules you can at: http://petitions.number10.gov.uk/NBSRuleChange/ (This is the 2nd one! The first one was not acted up on but only had just over 5, 000 signatures.)

Hugs to all & rant over,

here’s me getting all moral high-groundish, to be honest if I could give blood, they would have to pay me, I’m scared of needles, and have them only when I really REALLY need them. Someone once said to me “just don’t tell them your gay’, which doesn’t make sense, why willingly break a rule of an organisation which HINDERS the organisations cause, I feel bad that they are short of blood but all I have to say to them is, “WAKE UP, HAVE SOME THOUGHT”
