Health Minister Nitzan Horowitz donated blood on Monday following Israel's repealing of the ban on gay blood donation.
"There
is no difference between blood and blood," Horowitz, who is gay, said
during his blood donation at the Magen David Adom compound in Jerusalem.
"The ban on gays donating blood was the remnant of a stereotype that
should be left in history."
Horowitz had pushed to remove part of the blood donation questionnaire that barred gay men from donating blood.

themselves."
