Abstract/OtherAbstract:
On 8 September 2010, the Ontario Superior Court rejected a claim that Canadian Blood Services (CBS) is violating Section 15 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms (Charter) by refusing blood donations from men who have had sex with other men (MSM) since 1977. The case arose because CBS sued Kyle Freeman, a gay man, for lying about his sexuality on the screening questionnaire in order to give blood.
