Back when Kody Kinsley was in high school, he was so dedicated to boosting the US blood supply that he helped run blood drives. But today will be the first time as an adult that Kinsley -- now the secretary of North Carolina's Department of Health and Human Services -- will actually be allowed to donate blood.

Kinsley is gay. While the rules have loosened some, for nearly 40 years, guidance from the US Food and Drug Administration banned most gay men from donating blood, even if they personally posed no threat to the blood supply.

Starting Monday, the Red Cross, the organization that provides about 40% of US blood and blood components, will use a more inclusive risk-based individual assessment to determine if someone is eligible to give blood, regardless of their sexual orientation.
