Yeah I thought the same, since my city did away with the 3-month rule two years ago (there’s still a partner-limit/monogamy requirement last I checked).

Apparently what makes it a “world first” is not that they allow gay donors but that they lifted all sexual activity-based rules (for plasma specifically) which used to reject sex workers, women who slept with bi men recently, and others. The title is just a bit misleading.
