GLBT Individuals Will not be
Able to Donate Blood in Poland
Homosexuals and bisexuals will not be allowed to donate blood. A ban to this effect is planned by the National Blood Center.
The idea evoked strong protests on part of gay circles but is supported by many doctors who claim that homosexuals forget about the safety of patients who may receive their blood.
Gay circles state that they will continue to donate blood and lie about their sexual orientation. Robert Biedron, the head of the Campaign against Homophobia, said the ban has no reasonable background since donated blood is always tested.
