Marks and inscriptions
What's the use of his COVID-19 antibodies if the system is anti-him? The plasma of gay and bi men who have recovered from COVID-19 could be helping current patients fight the disease - if they were allowed to donate blood. Now, more than ever, it's time for science, not stigma. #bloodequality GMHC
