Here's my take. I don't care if Christian lawmakers are just reading the bible wrong. I don't care about the bible. I don't care about Christianity. Religion and government should not mix. There is no way to be a good religious politician if your religion influences your politics. Even if your religion is about peace and love. Human rights are areligious.

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.
