Naomi's single motherhood, a nurse trying to score a recording contract, clicked with my view of my newly widowed mother, another country woman, trying to keep it together while still raising children. And would Ashley have made it in Hollywood without her mother's support?Īs I grew older, the story of the Judds impressed me, and I saw bits of it in my own life. But without Naomi's harmonies and stage presence, I doubt her daughter ever would have become the one-name star she is. Wynonna was clearly the bigger voice of the duo. For a lonely gay boy in the rural Midwest, they were a calling card, and a lifeline of sorts. But I still always think of my grandpa.)Īnd after my father died, I wanted to be at that breakfast table they sang about in "Love Is Alive," soaking up all the love that sat there. (The song has since lost its luster for me a bit - the good old days weren't really that good. When I was a preteen beginning to reckon with my sexuality and dealing with bullies, and the Judds sang "Mama He's Crazy," I understood the narrator's insecurities - why would anyone want me?Īfter my grandfather died, I listened to "Grandpa" over and over, crying that he would no longer be able to tell me about the good old days, which he actually used to do. My first (and only) sighting of them is forever etched in my mind.Īfter word Saturday of Naomi's death, I'm now realizing how much I've been through with them. Starting September 30, all blood donors will be screened for higher risk sexual activities, such as multiple partners within a certain time frame - the change will apply to both blood and plasma donations.I'm not sure what it was, but for me and for most people, the chemistry between Naomi and Wynonna and the feelings they stirred inside the listener were almost tangible. Health Canada released that as part of its findings, there were no HIV transmissions following the reduced deferral time of one year to three months which began in 2019. “There has been no shift in in terms of the safety of the blood supply, so reducing it or eliminating it altogether can be done without jeopardizing the safety of our blood supply,” said Fraser. Health Canada has been working towards this over the past decade, moving from a lifetime ban to five years in 2013, then one year in 2016, then a three month ban in 2019. “I think for now, I'll enjoy the fact that a discriminatory policy is gone and then start to ponder how can we make it even better," he said. So to reengage those people and build that trust back up is going to be a long road,” said Rosser.įor Lewis meanwhile, he’s going to savour the moment that’s been years in the making. “We still have a lot of work to do as far as reengaging men who have sex with men because for a lot of times, we were excluded. While the change is being universally celebrated, advocates believe there are still areas that can be improved. “It's less stigmatizing, it's less discriminatory and support ideally greater and more equitable access to this opportunity for people who want to donate blood,” said Meredith Fraser, with Regional HIV/AIDS Connection. The exclusionary policy will now apply to everyone regardless of gender or sexual orientation, and include a questionnaire about sexual behaviour. I feel like now, I can be somebody who can contribute,” he said. “As a gay man, I really feel much more empowered by this policy than the previous policy. But to see the steps that we've taken actually come this far - it's not perfect - but it is a milestone that we've been waiting for a long time for,” Rosser said.įor Shawn Lewis, a Ward Two city councilor, Thursday’s announcement is also welcomed news. “When I got involved in the movement, I knew it was going to be a long process because it involves health policy.

Rosser has been advocating for years against this policy. “To be honest, it was pretty emotional,” said advocate Andrew Rosser.Ĭurrently, Canadian Blood Services doesn’t allow men who have sex with men to donate unless they’ve been abstinent for three months. On Thursday, Health Canada announced that it had lifted the ban that prevented gay and bisexual men from donating blood.
