In one sense, it's biased towards people who have sex with men. In another way, it's protecting people. Without stereotyping anyone, I'd assume that there wouldn't be a large number of non-straight people who would be signing up to be a blood donor. With all due respect, the number of straight people still donating probably means that it doesn't change a major amount of blood produced in the long-term.

It’s protecting one person every five millennia, by denying them a life saving transfusion. Admittedly blood donations probably won’t increase too dramatically if the National Blood Service starts being sensible, but it’ll still give hundreds more people better life prospects. Is that not worth fighting for?
