Italy's Health Minister Slams Hospital For Refusing Gay Blood
http://www.365gay.com/newscon05/09/090505blood.htm

Italy's health minister has ordered an inquiry into a Milan hospital that refused to allow a gay man to donate blood. Under Italian law gays cannot be turned away as blood donors.
Last week, Paolo Pedote, a 39-year-old writer, was told by the Policlinico Hospital that he was ineligible to donate blood after he informed a nurse that he is gay.

When he was told the hospital refused to accept blood from gays Pedote reminded the nurse that Italian law does not discriminate.
