Original language of petition: English
Petition to the House of Commons in Parliament assembled
- The ban on gay and bisexual men, along with certain transgender folks, who have intercourse with men from donating blood is discriminatory and unscientific;
- The blood ban violates the amendment made to the Canadian Human Rights Act in 1998 which included sexual orientation as one of the prohibited grounds of discrimination;
- Canadian Blood Services has expressed an "immediate" need for blood that can be allievated by lifting these restrictions on donation; and
- Ending the ban will be a significant step forward for LGBTQ+ rights in Canada and towards equality.
