Let’s
Queer the Census!
LGBT
people are basically invisible in the census, which is THE survey that
is designed to accurately reflect the diverse reality of America's population.
Beyond being downright ridiculous, it's also a big problem. The data
collected has a direct impact on issues that are critical to every American
– issues like health care, economic stability and safety. When
LGBT people are not counted, individuals, families and communities suffer.
The good news is
that you and I can do something about this. Sign
the petition asking the U.S. Census Bureau to Queer the Census.
Something
else you can do is find out the best way to answer the questions on
the 2010 census form so that you WILL be counted. Check out the FAQ
