The FDA has revised its guidelines regarding blood donation from gay and
bisexual men, reducing the deferral period from 12 months to 3 months. This

to donate blood, potentially increasing the blood supply and helping those
in need. However, some LGBTQ+ advocates argue that the change does not go
far enough and that the deferral period should be eliminated entirely.
