1. FDA Overturns 30-year Ban on Blood Donations by Gay Men
Well, sort of…
Yesterday, the FDA decided that gay men (or any men who have sex with men) are allowed to donate blood IF they have not had sex with a man in the last 12 months. I guess this is a step in the right direction, but given that tests can screen out any sort of STI’s (which not only men who have sex with men have, obviously), this is still a pretty thin attack on men who have sex with men.
2. Breasts No Longer Considered ‘Nude’, says AGLC
In Alberta Canada, the Alberta Gaming and Liquor Commission (AGLC) has ruled that breasts are no longer considered “nude”. Interesting.
Did you know that Playboy magazine has a long history with the science fiction genre? Neither did I. This is a really interesting look at it.
