In what's believed to be the first case of its kind, a gay man in China has filed a lawsuit against a Beijing Red Cross donor centre after it refused to accept his blood deposit because of his sexual orientation.
The Red Cross of Thailand announced last week that it would change its screening process for blood donors following strong protest from gay rights groups reacting to an earlier announcement on a blanket ban of gay blood donors.
The US government has reaffirmed its policy that bans anyone who ever had sex with another man from donating blood for life despite recommendations by the American Red Cross and two other blood donation centres to lift the ban.
