More often than not, Carl Paladino comes across as a guy who has a gripe about plenty of things in Buffalo—its politicians, its development projects and even the way its schools are run. And, more often than not, he makes a fair argument. Still, no one can deny that he is a full-time Buffalo Booster, with a particular passion and unconditional love for this city.

Great idea, and I applaude both UNYTS and Campieri's for their efforts. Question though. Are they accepting blood donations from gay men? Last time I checked, the American Red Cross was not. Does anyone know if that has changed?

Don't shoot the messenger, but, no, a gay man can not donate blood.

This is the Red Cross Guidelines, as stated check your local donation center.
I can't give blood for even more of a crazy reason but, better safe than sorry.

btw with so many limitations on who can donate this makes it even more important for those that can...to do it.
I'll buy you a cookie.

I completely agree with you sb16. And thanks for posting the Red Cross' eligibility guidelines for being a blood donor. It would suck to take time off work to give blood, only to learn that you're not eligible.

Even if you know you can't give blood, it can still be worth it to go to a donation site. Before they draw your blood you have to put a label on your paperwork that indicates whether or not you think your blood is safe for donation (they always screen it anyways, just to be safe). The benefit of getting your blood drawn even if you know you can't donate is that they will test your blood and let you know if there is anything wrong you should know about.
And if you're worried about anonymity, don't be. The labels you pick from have bar codes, so anybody looking at them cannot tell if you chose to donate or not.
