- Homosexuals are not allowed to donate.

And the list goes on. I was completely pissed off the last time I went to donate (actually the one before last), and was told I couldn’t, because I had been pierced. The fact that the health board approves the place means nothing to them. I was pissed off for a while, and thought I won’t donate. And then I thought, that’s not fair to people who might need my blood. So I lie.
Have I had any part of my body pierced?
Have I engaged in sex with another man?
Have I been to Africa?
Is there anything else I might want to add?
