UK activist Peter Tatchell criticizes less restrictive blood ban for gays: "Although the new policy is a big improvement on the existing lifetime exclusion, a 12-month ban is still excessive and unjustified. Most gay and bisexual men do not have HIV and will never have HIV. If they always have safe sex with a condom, have only one partner and test HIV negative, their blood is safe to donate. They can and should be allowed to help save lives by becoming donors. Sadly, the 12-month ban will apply even if the blood of gay and bisexual men is safe – even if they always use a condom and even if they test HIV-negative."

Geriatrician talks about being gay, aging, and being alone: "As a geriatrician, I’ve come to learn a bit about people’s fears about growing old and dying. I most often see it in my patients’ family members, but I think that it exists in all of us to an extent. Physicians feel it, too. This unease may be one of the reasons why the number of geriatricians is decreasing even as there is an acknowledged need for more providers who are proficient in the care of older adults. Growing up suspecting I was gay, one of my greatest fears was to end up alone. When I came out to my parents, the one aspect about being gay that most worried my mother was the punishing solitude that she thought I would face as a gay man in the world."
