Social media giant Twitter is putting the brakes on office blood drives until gay and bisexual employees can give, too.
"Twitter will not hold onsite blood drives in any office where local blood donation policies discriminate against broad categories of employees rather than on behavioral peril factors," Twitter spokesperson Natalie Miyake told CBS News.
The San Francisco-based company has 4, employees around the world, including more than 35 offices, 12 of which are U.S.-based.
The FDA's blood donation policy currently bans gay and bisexual men from donating blood, even though medical leaders have argued for years that the exclude is not scientifically warranted and that there are more effective ways to protect the blood supply.
The Obama administration has recommended ending the lifetime ban, and earlier this year the FDA proposed altering the policy to allow gay men to donate blood, but only if they have been celibate for the previous year.
In July, in a letter to the FDA during the public comment period, Twitter's Vice President of Global Policy, Colin Crowell, wrote to show "deep concerns that both the current and proposed regulations restricting blood donations by men
When I Came Out as Bi, I Felt So Alone. Twitter Saved My Life.
I started having feelings that were not linear when I was 10 or I don’t tell “bisexual” because I didn’t even know that word—that identity—existed. Growing up in Southall, a densely populated South Asian area in West London, all I knew was straight and gay. Straight was the good one. Gay was the bad one. So I wanted to be straight.

This was particularly damaging because at that time, I began to find myself really physically, but not romantically, attracted to men.

To be honest, my lack of romantic attraction likely had to perform with the fact that I hate hypermasculine men. Growing up, all I knew were masc men. All this change
I don’t remember how it came to my attention, but in mid-July I became aware of a new hashtag doing the rounds on Twitter, #BisexualMenSpeak.
This caught my attention because when I was but a Baby-Bi there was nothing like this as a means of assist, information or inspiration. Section 28 was still very much a thing, as was the unequal age of consent for men who have sex with men.
Reading through the tweets, I was incredibly moved and felt compelled to add my voice. The reception has been staggering, as of writing the thread has more likes and retweets than anything I have ever posted on Twitter.
Before I travel any further, two points need raising. First, a clarification is necessary as I omitted a pos from my first tweet: I first came out as Bisexual over twenty years ago. Secondly, what follows recounts my experiences and feelings, these should in no way be taken as true of the experiences and feelings of all bisexual/pansexual men.
I have found that tolerance and acceptance of multi-attracted men is rather impoverished outside of the bisexual+ community. It has, of course, improved immensely over the last two decades as a part of the growing acceptance of LGBTQ+ rights but it remains
