A Manx actor is calling on government to make a change to legislation currently stopping gay men donating blood on Island.
Joe Locke - who rose to fame in Netflix's 'Heartstopper' - spoke about the issue in a video recorded for the Isle of Pride festival on Saturday.
Despite the UK relaxing its rules in 2021, blood donations on Island still prevent men who have sex with other men from giving blood.
The young actor says despite the Island coming 'a long way in the last 30 years' there's still work to be done:
