In 1983, the FDA introduced a guideline that banned gay men from donating blood. A form of this ban remains in place to this day, making the U.S. one of the only countries to continue to ban the donation of gay men’s blood.

We thought that was pretty f’ed up. So we took the FDA’s unwanted blood and did something with it. In collaboration with pigment artist Stuart Semple, we created a collection of protest art tools made from the blood of gay men.

We’ve sold over $50,000 of Gay Blood Ink and donated 100% of the profits to Callen-Lorde.
