Should The Male Gay Community Be Allowed To Give Blood?

I had some free time down in Akron, Oh. a few years ago and noticed a blood donation trailer set up in a parking lot. I decided I would do the honorable thing and give a little. This is a big deal for someone like me who despises the feeling of a needle penetrating my skin.
Anyway, upon entering the trailer I was handed a questionaire. Upon answering all the questions, I was told my blood would not be needed. WHAT? What about all the ads I keep hearing on the radio about the desperate need for blood? "Oh, we need the blood", the person said, "just not YOUR blood".
