Reform the FDA's Donor Referral Process

It's about to get political up in this biznitch.

My friend Chris, featured in the video below, has been turned away twice while trying to donate blood. Did you know that it is illegal for a gay man to donate blood? And that it makes no difference that Chris is disease free and has the rare blood type of A-? Read more about Chris' story here.



I am so proud of my actor-type friends for putting this video together to raise awareness about this antiquated and discriminatory law. If you feel compelled, I urge you to call your state representatives and make some noise.

PSA over and out.
