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 section at queerthecensus.org
