The slogan is a reaction against the FDA's controversial blood donation rules, one of which prohibits men from donating if they've had sex with another man within the last 12 months. These donor referral rules, which the FDA claims as HIV-preventative, have been slammed as discriminatory toward gay and bisexual men.
So, Lionsgate, led by chief brand officer Tim Palen, aims to lobby against the FDA, attempting to raise awareness of and ditch discriminatory barriers to donation.
The "All Types Welcome" drive features posters with eight different "nurses" including transgender model and club queen Amanda Lepore, veteran NYC party promoter Susanne Bartsc, albino model Shaun Ross, South Sudanese model Nyakim Gatwech, Rotten Tomatoessenior editor Grae Drake, "glam gore" model Mykie, and fitness star Dan Rockwell.

If you give blood, you'll nab a ticket to see the movie when it's out Oct. 27 in the U.S. and globally released over the following days. Plus, you'll be contributing to Hollywood's attempt to take on the FDA. Could it work?
