Downing St defends ban on gay blood

[fredv3b]

I wonder if the equality legislation argument could be used successfully in court?

I very much doubt it, blood donation is a gift not a service. I wonder whether most gay men who object so strongly to the ban would actually give blood, or do they just object to the principle that they can't give blood but not the practice that they don't. I just regard it as a relief from the obligation to give blood.
