BBC News - Blood donation: Rule change means more gay and bisexual men can give blood
https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-55296525
Currently the rule is that you must have abstained from sex for three months; but from summer 2021 gay and bisexual men will be able to donate blood provided they only have sex with one partner.
It goes on to say even if you've had sex with multiple partners in the last three months, you can still donate provided you haven't had anal sex, which carries the highest risk of transferring infections. This is regardless of the gender of your partners.
For me this is great as giving blood is always something I've wanted to do, and this archaic rule change has been a long time coming. Plus I've always been curious about my blood type.
