title: Gay man launches suit over refusal to accept blood donation.
abstract: Adrian Lomaga, a McGill law student who is gay, is suing Héma-Québec because it refuses to accept his blood donation. Héma-Québec, which is the blood collection agency for the province, imposes a lifetime ban on blood donations from men who have had sex with another man even once since 1977. The Canadian Blood Services has the same policy.
