Here you just answer a quick form. And it doesn't ask you if you're gay, just if you had sexual intercourse with a same gender person, a prostitute or if you have been a prostitute in the last month (plus other questions on which medication you're taking, are you on drugs...) and then a doctor has a quick talk with you.

I actually had a school friend in high school that's gay and he donated blood. He just told the doctor that he had a steady partner for a long time then.
