1980 or 1981, I recall donating at a specifically gay blood drive. (I've still got my very well worn blood donor card in my wallet with my blood type, JIC)
It wasn't till taking the AIDS test in '87 that I found out I hadn't killed anybody. Even if welcomed with open arms at the blood bank now, I'm not sure I could donate today without having an emotional reaction . . .
