“Defense lawyers, however, have a different “ideology”. While the defense counsel sees to it that the innocent are not convicted, he is also duty bound to defend the accused without regard whether the accused is guilty or not guilty. The lawyer defends his client the best way he can, and brings out for the clients all the defenses available within the law for them. The line of reasoning is not only practiced but is accepted as gospel truth or truism in our current adversarial system.” - Tabucanon (Legal Philosophy, 2011)

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.
