THE FCC WILL DROWN OUT PUBLIC OUTCRY, WE NEED TO BE LOUDER

Pai, the man behind the FCC’s decision to repeal Net Neutrality has mentioned that the FCC can simply “drown out” minor public outcry LIKE WHAT WE HAVE GOING ON HERE.

They literally said they DON’T CARE about the public opinion on this.

We need to get louder!! Long Distance Relationships, Kids in abusive households, Starting Artist and Freelance Writers, etc. Could suffer if we don’t make ourselves louder!!!

We need to join together, with our families and peers to go against this!! No amount of reblogs will save us if they can drown out the comments!!!

BE LOUDER

For the details with no paywall:

More gay and bisexual men will now be able to donate blood under finalized FDA rules

While the number of people eligible to donate blood has expanded, the agency says it will continue to monitor the safety of the blood supply

NPR

The article says that the guidelines have been updated. Instead of asking if you’re a man that’s had sex with another man in the past 3 months it asks everyone regardless of gender if they’ve had anal sex with a new partner or if they’ve had anal sex with multiple partners in the past 3 months.

This both opens up blood donation to msm in exclusive relationships or who don’t have anal sex and more accurately identifies hiv risk from people who aren’t msm. This is exactly the sort of guidelines we’ve been fighting for for years. This is a major win for both gay rights and blood donation in the US. Now a bunch of people who couldn’t donate before can donate now.
