Openly gay rugby league star Keegan Hirst was among men who turned up to donate at what campaigners called an ‘illegal blood bank’. Setup by campaigners FreedomToDonate at a secret location in London, the blood drive was to protest a three month deferral period for gay and bisexual men who want to give blood. The blood will not enter the national supply but represents the campaign's hope that in future blood like this could be used to save lives.
