While the changes are welcome, they don't go far enough and create unnecessary confusion with different rules for blood versus plasma donation. Other countries, such as Canada, the U.K., and the U.S., have simpler, more consistent policies that require only three months of monogamous relationships, rather than Australia's proposed six-month requirement for blood donation. The conservative approach may still exclude willing donors unnecessarily.
There's a 50% chance that at least 13.4% of American adults in 2070 will identify as LGBTQ+, according to the Metaculus prediction community.
