'My blood could save a life, but instead it’s over here boiling,' Cohen said during Thursday night's 'Watch What Happens Live!' after explaining that he is considered ineligible to donate plasma to those battling virus
"Why are members of my community being excluded from helping out when so many people are sick and dying?” Cohen urged during the final moments of his Bravo show 'Watch What Happens Live!' Thursday night.
He explained that the "new relaxed rules require gay men to abstain from sex for three months, whether they’re in a monogamous relationship or not, before giving blood." He emphasized that he finds it hypocritical given there are "no such blanket restrictions" required for heterosexual donors. Cohen argued that stigma is being valued over science. "My blood could save a life, but instead it’s over here boiling. This pandemic has forced us to adapt in many ways. We’re quarantining. We’re social distancing. We’re wearing masks. Why can’t we adapt when it comes to this rule?”
