Bisexual & Lesbian Women from the 80s & 90s were you ever a Blood Sister? [View all]

Blood sisters were lesbians who in the early years of the AIDs donated blood, in hopes for brothers we could stop the depopulation of gay men


Not with acknowledge that homophobia took an entire generation on pan & gay & bisexual men into invisibility, lesbians, bisexual & pan women were not a thought.

[I am NOT ignoring transgender people. At that time I did not have the words or culture to use them]

It was a long time ago & now is far away.


I donated regularly. I hope it helped
