Canadian Blood Services Chastised For Ad On Grindr
Posted on August 16, 2016
INSTINCT MAGAZINE – Aug 14 – Canadian Blood Services says the placement of a blood donation ad on Grindr is the fault of its mobile advertising vendor. In the ad, the organization encouraged men to download its GiveBlood mobile app. But under rules that took effect Aug. 15, any gay men who have been sexually active within the last year are banned from donating blood. Health Canada reduced the ban from five years to one earlier this year.
