OTTAWA — A gay man who repeatedly gave blood after lying about having sex with other men is suing Canadian Blood Services, alleging that the questionnaire used by the agency to screen out unsuitable donors is a violation of his Charter Rights.
Kyle Freeman alleges that the blood collection agency violates his Charter rights and those of other gay men by asking male donors on the questionnaire whether they had ever had sex with a man, even once, since 1977.
Freeman — who is seeking $250,000 in damages — sued after a lawsuit was filed against him by Canadian Blood Services accusing him of negligent misrepresentation for lying on the screening form.
