Jochen Schropp finds blood donation restrictions discriminatory for homosexual men

Berlin. TV presenter Jochen Schropp has criticized the restrictions on blood donations for homosexual men. “As a homosexual man, I am only allowed to donate blood if I haven’t had sex with a man for a year,” the 42-year-old told the magazine “Bunte”. “I consider the blood donation ban to be highly discriminatory.” It borders on madness that he is classified as part of a risk group even in a monogamous partnership.

As reported by “Bunte”, the presenter got engaged to his partner last year.
