Liberals in Canada face backlash over ban on blood donations by sexually active gay men.

The Liberal government is facing a new push to end a ban on blood donations by sexually active gay and bisexual men — a policy that Justin Trudeau’s own election platform called discriminatory.

An electronic petition recently filed with the House of Commons, E-1589, calls on the Liberal government to stop a practice it says imposes a stigma on gay and bisexual men.
