It is a bit unclear, but if you are lesbian that has not had sex with a man who has sex with a man, you can donate. If you are a gay man and have had sex, but over 12 months ago (first link, 2nd lik say 6 months), you can. Otherwise you have to wait."

- Newer law has been passed "Indefinite deferral has been changed to a one year deferral and legal since January 2017. https://www.dagbladet.no/nyheter/homofile-menn-kan-snart-fa-gi-blod-men-bare-de-som-ikke-har-sex/60246504"
