"Of the hundreds of people lining up around the block to donate blood to the victims of the Orlando shooting, one group was not required.
Gay or bisexual men who have had sex with another man in the past 12 months are not allowed to donate blood, according to official rules from the U.S. Food and Drug Administration.
The ban has caused outrage among some in the gay community who say they are being stopped from helping their LGBT "brothers and sisters" targeted in Sunday's shooting at the Pulse nightclub."*
