No LGBTQ Questions Will Be Included In 2020 Census


The 2020 W.S. Census will not contain any questions related to sexual orientation or gender identity says Census Director John Thompson:

Yesterday, the U.S. Census Bureau hit a major milestone and delivered the planned subjects for the 2020 Census and the American Community Survey (ACS) to Congress as required by law.

Since releasing this information, there have been a number of questions raised about the inclusion of sexual orientation and gender identity due to an error in the appendix of the report.

Our proposal to Congress was that the planned subjects remain unchanged from the 2010 Census and will cover gender, age, race/ethnicity, relationship and homeownership status.

It did not include sexual orientation or gender identity.

The inclusion of LGBTQ categories were initially included but were quickly deleted after a draft of the survey questions was released.

LGBTQ activists are outraged about this as the Census helps determine in great part where federal funds are utilized in regard to the U.S. population.

If the government doesn't know how many gays there are, how do they know where important resources like law enforcement, health care, and equal employment opportunities are needed?

This is the erasing of LGBQ Americans.
