Watch the clip below.&nb...

England, Scotland, and Wales will lift a lifetime ban on gay men donating blood, a restriction instituted in the 1980s but one not supported by scientific studies on blood supply safety. The BBC reports that government ministers have agreed to allow men who have sex with men (MSM) to donate if they have not engaged in sexual activity within the past 12 months, effective in November (earlier this year, the U.K. had considered putting a 10-year deferral on MSM blood donation).

Is Univ. of Virginia discriminating against LGBT employees?

An insightful article from the University of Virginia’s campus daily examines the school’s policies toward LGBT employees – and finds it lacking. Tom Christensen writes that although sexual orientation is included in the University’s equal opportunity and affirmative action statement, it provides no benefits or support to LGBT employees – and doesn’t even track sexual orientation of its employees the way it tracks race, gender and other qualities.
