  • Edit: I’m mixing up a at will employment with right to work. Sorry for the confusion. See updated comment below:

    Right to work: Joining a union and paying union dues can no longer be a requirement of employment. This slowly degrades the power of the union and ultimately reduces wages and benefits of the workers

    Right to work At will employment is: A right to be fired at any point for any reason or no reason at all

    The goal is to get around any union protections that require things like a legitimate reason to be fired from a job.

    It also has the added bonus of drastically reducing the benefits of unions and making them much easier to prevent.



  • I see what you’re saying but they are specifically worried about anal sex. You’re welcome to switch up partners as much as you want as long as anal sex isn’t involved, which is much more likely and much easier for the heterosexual community.

    Same goes with prep. I’m sure that there are circumstances that would have individuals taking it that are not related to their sexual orientation.

    I’m just pointing out that despite the major improvement it still excludes gay men quite thoroughly from donating blood.

    Unfortunately it applies to gay men only. Our straight counterparts can switch up partners as much as they want.

    Well, it’d apply to bisexual men who’ve had male partners as well.

    I should also point out it doesn’t have to be new partners. Just if you’ve had more than one partner you can’t donate even if it’s an exclusive polygamous relationship.


  • Sort of. Still can’t donate if you’re taking prep (hiv preventative) or if you’ve had sex with multiple people.

    Need to be off prep for 3 months and not have sex with new or multiple partners.

    The no prep part is a tough ask. Especially with how healthcare is

    Much better than it was but it still excludes a huge portion of the community
