Been to the blood bank yesterday to donate blood. Quick test showed I could not donate this time. Iron was at 134 but must be 135 or above to donate. It’s probably due to surgery I had last month, and now i’ve been advised to wait 6 months. Somehow It makes me feel a bit sad and guilty.


My dude, there’s certainly a lot of things other countries can justifiably act all superior about when comparing themselves to the US.
But in this case, if your country isn’t letting you donate blood because you’re gay, I think it’s pretty safe to say that in this case the US is doing something better than your country.
So given that context you look kind of stupid getting on your high horse here.
You wish I was your dude. I’m referring to my time in the USA. Although I no longer live there today.
