In Canada, it is presumed that every Gay man is either infected with HIV or with any other sexual disease. Due to that fact, Gay men do not have the right to give blood or donate organs.
There are many gay parents who worry if their child were in an accident or very ill, that they would not be able to save their child by giving their child blood or even donating an organ.
There is a large population of Gay men who are in monogamous relationships, with families, and due to their sexual preference, they are denied the basic right of saving a child or any other human being for that matter.
We, the undersigned call upon the Government of Canada, to change their policy on blood and organ donation in Canada.
We ask that, the sexual preferences of people, not be an instant refusal of the right to donate.
We understand, that people should be pre-tested for any disease, and if they fail, then they can not donate. However anyone who is tested and deemed healthy, should be given the right to donate their blood, and their organs.
Discrimination against people in same sex relationships, is unconstitutional, and goes against our charter of rights and freedoms.
We ask the Canadian Government, to return the rights of any healthy Canadian to give the gift of blood, bone marrow, and organs, to those in need. No matter the race, religion, or sexual preference, of a person, the right to give blood is universal to any healthy man or woman.
