Alas, why can't we be accepted as equals in this world!
Good on Evan Low. Outdated laws remain on the books until someone challenges them and brings them up-to-date.
I think this is a good idea for in the 80's a lot of gay folks received confirmation of their HIV status through the blood banks. I think the blood banks might consider a rapid HIV screening in person before giving blood, plus testing the blood as they do now. HEPC too. Smile changing Public Policy can change people's life and in this case the Blood can save lives too.

We can be accepted as we take ownership in the community, forgive and want to reconcile. Some say it takes tens year to change policy, but that is a bunch of malarkey. For it take passionate, honorable leaders and truth with the people behind it. This policy could be changed in months if the passion was behind the cause, more than about gay but about building up communities with forgiveness and going through the reconciliation process. Gay Folks forgive and restore their honor to build up.
