Their contact information has been provided for you to reach out and tell them how you feel about the ban against gay/bisexual donors. The Blood Products Advisory Committee (BPAC) includes 17 Members who evaluate and review available information concerning the safety, efficacy and appropriate use of blood. The original National Gay Blood Drive group tried a peaceful country-wide stance in which normally eligible bisexual/gay male donors would show up to get tested at their local blood donation center and attempt to donate their blood.Īs every donor is refused, their evaluation result will be taken, collected and passed to the FDA – visually conveying on a national level how much blood that the gay community could give to the blood supply if they lift their ban and change the current policy.
