The pride of being a donor

The World Pride Madrid 2017 campaigns to donate blood

GAYLES.TV.- One of the solidarity initiatives of this World Pride 2017 is the campaign that is being carried out so that homosexuals donate blood. We remember in 2015 the Judgment of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU) that endorsed the ban on homosexuals from donating blood.

Although it sounds like another century, here is the list of countries that prohibit gay blood donation: Germany, Holland, Brazil, Algeria, Austria, Belgium, China, Croatia, Denmark, Slovenia, Estonia, Greece, Iceland, India, Israel , Lithuania, Slovakia, Malta, Norway, Philippines, Turkey, Japan, Czech Republic, Serbia, Sweden, Canada, USA and UK. Almost nothing. Then they will say that it is urgent and necessary. Any type of discrimination like this must be stopped now. It is so perverse that it hides nothing but prejudices; It is considered that homosexuals engage in risky sexual practices. As if heterosexuals didn't do it… Fortunately, the organizers of World Pride Madrid 2017 have seen fit to start a campaign that, under the hashtag #WorldPrideDonors, will allow donating blood regardless of the donor's country. Of course, an identification with the DNI will be necessary.
