Rep. Alan Grayson is calling for the FDA to end the ban on gay men giving blood.

In a conference call led Tuesday by gay rights advocates, Alan Grayson said he planned legislation aimed at updating the country’s system for screening blood donations.

Grayson said no one should be turned away from giving blood after a tragedy like the June 12 massacre at a gay club that killed 49 and injured dozens.

Hundreds rushed to donate blood to help the victims, but the Food and Drug Administration bars donations from men who have had sex with a man in the previous year.
